It is the sixth consecutive day NIFTY is closing within the range 16,500-16,700. We need a strong move or a trigger to break the region. Can the Monetary Policy Committee decision on interest rate hike act as a trigger tomorrow?

See how VIX managed to stay above 20. US VIX has come down from 30 now and that has led to minor gap openings in NIFTY. But the US markets are still volatile with multiple U-turns.

Look at the way NIFTY bounced back from 16,450 exactly as it did on the previous expiry day and Wednesday. 16,600, the swing point of Friday acted as resistance yesterday. These levels can be watched.

The Reserve Bank of Australia will come up with their interest rate decision at around 10 AM IST. A hike is expected and let us see if there is a jerk in the US futures. The gap-down may take NIFTY to near 16,450 and we have to see if the support is strong to give another bounce-back to NIFTY.

As mentioned earlier, let us wait for a close out of the range 16,500-16,700.
