Nifty 50 January Futures (21,754)
Nifty 50 has risen back well after witnessing a sharp fall on Monday. The index is currently trading at 21,668, up 0.72 per cent. Despite this bounce, Nifty has not yet recovered the losses registered on Monday. The charts indicate that 21,500-21,850 seems to be the trading range within which the Nifty has been oscillating over the last few days. So, we may have to wait for this range to breakout on either side to get clarity.
In Asia, Kospi (2,566) is flat. Nikkei 225 (33,672), Hang Seng (16,275) and Shanghai Composite (2,897) are all up in the range of 0.3-0.9 per cent.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average (37,683, up 0.58 per cent) had rose on Monday. It has an important resistance in the 37,800-37,850 region. Only a strong break above 37,850 will ease the downside pressure and take it up to 38,000 and higher. Else, the index will remain vulnerable to see 37,000 on the downside.
Nifty 50 Futures
