Ruchit Jain, Senior Analyst – Technical and Derivatives at Angel Broking said, “One should prefer to trade with the trend now until any negative signs are seen and look for opportunities that could continue to outperform. The near-term trading range could be wide given the recent volatility, wherein the supports are now placed around 14,140 and 14,000, whereas resistance could be seen around 14,500.”
“The Union Budget 2021 is a boon for the equity market with all the essential aspects of growth supported by an increase in government spending without an increase in indirect taxes. Proposal for the privatisation of two PSU banks and measures to curb the impact of NPAs helped the banking index to lead the soaring rally. Higher government spending in infrastructure and increased FDI limit in insurance improved the overall outlook of these sectors,” said Vinod Nair, Head of Research at Geojit Financial Services.
That said, here’s a look at what some of the key indicators are suggesting for Tuesday’s action:
US stocks gain as retail investors move to silver
Wall Street’s main indexes gained on Monday following a steep sell-off last week, as a shift in the retail trading frenzy to silver drove up mining stocks and investors awaited manufacturing data later in the day. The Dow Jones Industrial Average rose 225.1 points, or 0.75%, to 30,207.75. The S&P 500 rose 37.9 points, or 1.00%, to 3,751.48, while the Nasdaq Composite rose 187.5 points, or 1.43%, to 13,257.7.
Miners lift European shares
European shares jumped on Monday, bouncing from their worst weekly decline since October powered by a rise in shares of miners after an ongoing retail frenzy shifted its attention to silver. The pan-European STOXX 600 index rose 1.14%, with shares of miners including Fresnillo, Polymetal International and Boliden AB jumping between 5% and 20%.
Tech View: Nifty forms Long White candle
Nifty50 reclaimed the 14,200 level in style on Monday, and formed a Long White candle on the daily chart to the surprise of many. The sharp gains made analysts believe that the NSE benchmark found a bottom at its recent low at 13,596 level. They said profit booking cannot be ruled out after Monday’s rise, but any fall could trigger buying. “Technically, Nifty has created a strong bullish reversal pattern on the daily chart and is moving towards the 14,500 mark. Traders should consider reducing the weak positions on the resistance or around the cost price. The strategy should be to buy if Nifty corrects to 14,200 level. The index would move past the 15,300 level if it crosses the 14,800 mark,” said Shrikant Chouhan of Kotak Securities.
