Broad market range for this expiry is 16400-17200

Narrow range would be 16600-16900.

Are we witnessing the santa short covering rally in the mrkts? frankly didnt expect 16900 resistance to be breached that easily. I’m expecting a retest of 16900 sometime soon.

That being said, Bank Nifty offers better Risk reward compared to nifty in my view. Globally omicron cases are rising exponentially for sure. But, like always how much of this is in price is the million dollar question.

Fresh longs in nifty here are kind of risky. better to focus on bnifty n stocks which are battered heavily,

Expecting BN fut might not break today’s high (i.e/ 35410). my SL is above 35650.

Somethings cooking in energy sector. Keep an eye. (Long side)

i will try to keep things simple today : Market is following the trend of US Markets. S&P is at All time high . Dow is hardly 1% away from fresh highs.

Rest is all noise.

17150-200 is the resistance zone. Lets see what happens here. I think downside for this expiry is capped at 16850-900 zones.

I will prefer to focus on stocks than index today. Will update the thread if I find anything interesting.

PS : There’s also a monday fall sentiment and fear among various section of market participants. keep that factor while considering any carry forwrd positions

Positionally my view is bearish on tatapowerfut
closing SL will be above 223.
