The markets have closed above 16950 which is a crucial medium-term support for the Nifty. If we need to bounce or make a V shape recovery, this is the place from where that can happen. The next resistance is at 17400-17500. If we break 16950 on a closing basis, the markets can fall further to 16500-16550.

Nifty witnessed a recovery during the day as it found support around 80% retracement of the previous rally from 16400 to 18350. A large green candle with a lower shadow has been formed on the daily chart which indicates buying at the lower levels of the day. Going forward, the resistance at 17400 may challenge the bulls; however, a decisive move above that level may take the Nifty higher towards 17800. On the lower end support is visible at 17000/16800.

On the technical front 17,000 and 17,500 are immediate support and resistance in Nifty 50 respectively. For Bank Nifty 37,200 and 38,000 are immediate support and resistance respectively.

After a week-long consolidation, domestic indices took a breather supported by low-level buying. Western markets also supported staging recovery following correction in oil markets, and as uncertainties over Fed policy and geopolitical tensions eased. However, volatility is expected to linger as investors await the Fed’s final policy statement, providing clarity on the timeline of rate hikes. If the statement is hawkish as anticipated, we cannot ignore a bounce in the market.

Nifty recovered smartly from the opening lows to end the day in the positive. It has recovered from an important support of around 16800. Advance decline ratio improved sharply to much above 1:1 after touching an 22 month low on the day before. After a trading holiday on Jan 26, Indian markets will react to the outcome of the US Fed meet due on 26th evening. While some initial weakness on Jan 27 cannot be ruled out, Nifty seems to have made a near term bottom on Jan 25. 17379 could be a resistance for Nifty while 16998 could be a support in the near term.

Markets will react to the Fed meeting outcome in early trade on Thursday and we expect volatility to remain high, thanks to the scheduled monthly expiry. Keeping in mind the scenario, we reiterate our cautious view and suggest preferring hedged positions.
