Markets Ahead

Adani-related news is still affecting our market, let's hope that it would become a non-event soon.

Do check Bank Nifty chart and analyse it. It has an interesting chart pattern now with good consolidation in the 41,500-41,600 zone. Every recovery is easily getting sold off from that region, and for the same reason, we would have a rally of 1300+ pts if the 41,800 zone is clearly broken.

I was expecting a good rally in Reliance today, but it didn’t happen. But the analysis remains the same: looking at the support at the 2321 level.

Nifty ended flat this week with a recovery of 200 pts from the week’s low.

The coming Tuesday is going to be a very important day for market participants. India’s wholesale price inflation data (12 PM) and consumer price inflation rate (5:30 PM) will be out, along with the U.S. inflation rate (7 PM).

On Wednesday, the UK will publish its inflation data at 12:30 PM.
