Asian Paints (-1.5%) continued its fall from 3500 resistance and closed as the Nifty 50 Top  Loser. Add the 3230 level as the next major support of the stock.

Coal India (+2.9%) moved up on its plan to set up coal gasification projects.

Axis Bank (+2.9%) is showing amazing power these days. It has been featured in the Nifty 50 Top Gainer list for the third consecutive day.

Markets Ahead

The market volatility is very high everywhere. None of the markets is giving clear trends, but still, we can sense weakness in the market.

Nifty has too many hurdles on the upper side- 17,130, 17,190, 17,220, 17,280, 17,430 and a major one at 17,480.

Bank Nifty fell below 38,800k yesterday, which was an indication of another fall. But today it's back above 39,000- very hard to trade and analyse these days. We need to act continuously, according to market conditions. 

It is very important to note that Nifty (17,130), Bank Nifty (39,160), and Fin Nifty (17,600) are together at good resistance levels. If they are broken we may see a short covering. 

It would be better to avoid overnight positions because of global events and high volatility. 

TCS has posted good results, Infosys has buyback program expectations, Indian Rupee is still weak, but Nasdaq is at two-year lows. Otherwise, we would have seen a good result rally in IT stocks.

Results from Wipro are below estimates, which is a bit disappointing. 

U.K. August GDP (MoM) was reported at -0.3% vs 0.2% previous vs estimate of 0.0.

India's CPI data for September will be out today.
