TECH VIEW :: Ashis Biswas, Head of Technical Research at CapitalVia Global Research Limited

The market witnessed some lackluster movement and an attempt to hold the level around the Nifty 50 Index level of 17500. The market research shows that it is going to be crucial for the short-term market scenario to sustain above the 17450-17500 Nifty50 Index support zone. If the market is able to sustain the level of 17450-17500, it can witness higher levels of 17850. The momentum indicators like RSI and MACD to stay positive and market breadth to improve, further strengthening a short-term bullish outlook.

Despite hopeful signs in the global markets, domestic main indices traded in a narrow range to give away its early gains in today’s volatile session. However, the broad market was robust barring banks, all major sectors were in demand and media, metals and realty outperformed. Realty stocks were in focus owing to an increase in property registrations in September while easing jitters over the Chinese economy bolstered metal stocks. Investors traded cautiously awaiting the outcome of the FOMC meeting that will clear the air regarding Fed’s tapering plans.
