10:20 am: Technical view by Mr. Parth Nyati, Founder, Tradingo
The market is witnessing a sharp cut in early trade of Tuesday's trading session on the back of intense geopolitical tension. We are in monthly F&O expiry week therefore we could see a surge in volatility whereas March is going to be a very volatile month due to lots of events like geopolitical uncertainty, results of state elections, US Fed meeting, etc.
The overall trend is bullish but we may have high volatility over the next month therefore short-term traders should remain light while long-term investors should look at this correction as a buying opportunity. We are very bullish on capital goods, infrastructure, real estate, banking, consumer goods, and auto ancillaries space therefore we advise investors to look for buying opportunities in these areas.
Technically, Nifty is trying to respect its 200-DMA which is currently placed around 16850 while if Nifty starts to trade below 200-DMA then correction may see further extension towards 16000/15500 levels. On the upside, 17300/17500 are important resistance levels; above this, we can expect positive momentum in the market.
10:00 am: Nifty below 17,000, Sensex tanks 1,000 points amid escalating Ukraine crisis; all sectors in the red.
