IT closed flat.

The US markets fell on Friday. The  European markets moved higher except for DAX.

The Asian markets are trading deep in the red except for NIKKEI.

The U.S. Futures and European futures are trading lower.

SGX NIFTY is trading at 17,820 indicating a flat to gap-down opening.

NIFTY has supports at 17,680, 17,600 and 17,540. We can expect resistances at 17,970, 18,000 and 18,100.

BANK NIFTY has supports at 40,850, 40,700 and 40,340. Resistances are at 42,000, 42,500 and 42,770.

INDIA VIX dropped by 8% to 14.4.

Foreign Institutional Investors net-sold shares worth Rs 900 crores. Domestic Institutional Investors net-bought shares worth 1,300 crores.

That was an extremely volatile week. It was event-packed with corporate results, Auto Sales data, Fed interest rate decision and more importantly, the Union Budget. To add to it, the US Jobs data surprised with a huge job addition amid recession.

Unemployment is now at the lowest level since 1969 in the US. The job addition magnitude is the largest in six months. This tighter market will make it harder for the Fed.

Though VIX has dropped after the events, we cannot be sure if volatility has come to an end looking at the structure of the chart. 

ITC and SBI results were better than expectations. Keep an eye on the stocks, especially SBI.

As we discussed yesterday, the market looks rather uncertain due to the Adani issue. It is hard to form a view on the market since there is extreme volatility and the move is news-dependent. Still, crossing 18K will be a reversal sign.

I will watch 17,600 on the downside in NIFTY. 18,000 can be watched on the upside.
