Markets Ahead
With the Asian markets staying in the green today morning, Nifty opened flat in the day. And once the European markets opened and shot up 1-1.5% to the green it was confirmation that our market will bounce back.
India VIX has calmed down and fell 6% today. Looks like the temporary volatility is now reduced.
Dow Jones Futures are also in the green. If the markets there also recover, we can expect our markets to do well tomorrow.
Hoping that no one got trapped in the intraday movements of the market. Even with the V-shaped recovery in Nifty, the candles being formed were very volatile.
Bank Nifty closing above 37,200 and Nifty at Friday’s closing level is some confirmation that the market has not yet turned bearish. But is it still a candle showing indecision for Bank Nifty. Keep watching the 36,500 support level in the Bank Nifty index along with 17,200 as support for Nifty.
Tomorrow’s Fed Meeting highlights are also being watched by market participants eagerly. If decisions remain along the same line as current policies, markets might jump a bit back up.
Is it just a bounce-back before another fall? Or is it showing that bears don’t have enough strength yet? Let us know what you think in the comments section of the marketfeed app!
