Nifty Today:

The markets have traded with high volatility in last few sessions ahead of the Interim Budget. The Nifty index has traded in a broad range with swing on both sides. The index recently corrected and formed a support base around the 40 DEMA which is now placed around 21300. On the flipside, 21800 has been acting as a resistance zone which needs to be surpassed for a continuation of the uptrend. The recent correction from the high has been mainly because of FIIs selling in cash and the index futures segment and still they have significant positions in the index futures on the short side. Now markets would be reacting to couple of events in the coming session i.e. FED Policy outcome and the Interim Budget. It would be crucial to see which side the index gives a breakout. A closing above 21800 could lead to a continuation of the uptrend where the index can then rally to mark a new record high again. On the flipside, the above mentioned moving average support at 21300 remains a crucial support for the index. The markets breadth as of now is positive, thus traders are advised to trade with a stock specific approach and look for directional trade in the index on a close beyond the above mentioned range.
