With further escalation in the war, the global markets are looking at a fresh round of sell-off. GIFT NIFTY is indicating a 200 point gap down!

FMCG and IT indices are usually resilient in these times, and they are near 200-day EMA lines. Might be a better place to park your money if you are concerned about a further fall.

Interestingly, domestic institutions bought in heavily yesterday. We might see the same trend today.

So generally, I would say it is a good time for anyone who had felt sad they didn't invest when NIFTY reached 22,700. You can start building positions in different tranches!

For today, do watch the first 15-minute candles, then combine the Open High Low level with current supports. Especially watch out for 21,000 support in FINNIFTY.

We are generally happier as VIX is higher, and no put options are sold. I hope you too only have bearish trades open!

We will be continuing our NIFTY trades and BANKNIFTY trades today. You can check out our trades on the marketfeed app or our website!

All the best for the day!
