Index: Nifty
The Nifty edged back above 50 DMA. Since March 2020 lows, whenever the price has closed above 50-DMA, it has never gone back below it in the next one quarter. If this is a bullish structure, a move above 15,000 will be the confirmation for the reversal and next leg of up move.

F&O Tracker
Analyst: Sagar Doshi – Technical Analyst, Research, Edelweiss Wealth Management
- Since the past few trading sessions, FIIs are covering their shorts at lower levels from both index futures and stock futures. Their net contracts tally on index futures rose from 10,000 to 35,000 long contracts. Their total tally of net long contracts are still near the lower end of the range and until net contracts move past 60,000 long contracts, FII stance can continue to be neutral to bearish.
- On the option front, 15,000 levels continue to remain as the biggest resistance for March contract expiry as this strike has maximum call open interest. On the downside, 14,600 levels will be crucial to watch.
