The Fed meeting’s minutes revealed the strength of the economy and concerns regarding the rising inflation. Interest rates not to be changed immediately but may happen sooner than later.

Asian markets are mostly down. European futures are positive and US futures are negative. SGX NIFTY is currently trading lower at 15,038 indicating a flat opening in the Indian market.
The immediate supports for NIFTY are at 15,000, 14,950 and 14,900. If 14,900 is broken with strength today, then there will be more weakness in the market.
15,100, 15,140, 15,200 and 15,270 are important resistances for NIFTY.
34,000 and 34,400 are the immediate resistances to be watched out for in BANK NIFTY. It can go up strongly if 34,400 is broken.

VIX is still very low and we have been seeing super steady movement in the market this week. Will we see some volatility today because of the expiry?
The initial movement after opening will be interesting. If NIFTY moves down, I will wait to see if 15,000 support is taken or not. If that is broken WITH STRENGTH, there are high chances NIFTY will expire below 15,000 or 15,050.
