Nifty outlook and top stock picks by CapitalVia: Buy M&M, Bajaj Electricals

Nifty Posts Biggest One-Day Drop in Five Years; India Volatility Index up by 21 per cent.
 

Market witnessed a bloodbath for second straight day on 9th March roiled by global sell-off in equities. Nifty and Bank Nifty have posted biggest one-day fall ever in an absolute terms. Nifty was down with 538.00 points or 4.90% to close at 10,451.50. Rising cases of Coronavirus outside China and its impact on economic growth has put investors in negative sentiments. Massive sell-off can be also seen in Crude oil as Crude prices plummeted more than 25 percent. Market breadth was totally in favor of sellers, about 1,413 stocks declined while only 175 stocks ended in green. Bank Nifty was down 4.79 percent to close at 26,470.20
 

As per weekly option data, highest put writing can be seen at 10,000, which indicates that if Nifty breaches 10,300, it can further continue its downtrend to test the support present at 10,000-10,100. As pull back rally is already due, Traders are advised to create fresh buying if Nifty managed to break the level of 10,800 on closing basis. For the coming trading session, 11,000 will act as a major resistance as maximum call writing can be seen here. We can witness short-covering move along with addition of fresh position only if Nifty manages to close above 11,000.
