Short covering triggered most of the moves in our market yesterday. Despite moving down initially, Friday’s low was taken as support and a big move was seen back up.

Reliance pushed the market up, contributing a good chunk of move in NIFTY. HDFC Bank also tried moving up. Despite this, both stocks are still under their 200-day EMAs.

The U.S. markets are up 1-1.5% but GIFT NIFTY has not reacted yet. Since Asian markets are all in the red, and our markets moved up yesterday, there might not be a big opening movement.

Today is the FINNIFTY expiry and I have shared the levels I will be watching above. Hoping that it will be consolidation after multiple weeks of volatile expiries. PCR values indicate bulls are more confident, and that the market might hold its shape.

Once FINNIFTY enters the consolidation zone(draw a rectangle in daily charts), there could be smaller movements from there.

In other news, Chris Wood, Global Head of Equity Strategy at Jefferies, has warned that a 25% market correction looms If BJP loses in 2024.

But for now, anyway, put sellers have regained some confidence and the market is moving up! The question is will FINNIFTY support it today!
