“Markets may witness further consolidation however the bias would remain on the positive side till Nifty holds a 17,400 zone. Apart from the global cues and COVID news, the earnings-related updates would keep the volatility high. Traders should continue with a positive yet cautious approach and focus more on sectors/stocks selection.”

Key things to know before market opening bell
Domestic equity market benchmarks BSE Sensex and Nifty 50 were staring at a muted start on Friday, as suggested by trends on SGX Nifty in early trade. Nifty futures were trading 13.50 points up at 17,833 on the Singaporean Exchange. In the previous session, headline indices snapped their 4-day rally due to a decline in the overseas markets after minutes of the US Federal Reserve’s recent meeting suggested an earlier-than-expected rise in interest rates. Sensex tanked 621 points of 1.03% to end at 59,601 while NSE Nifty 50 sunk 179 points or 1% to close at 17,745. Technical analysts say that after an intraday sharp fall, the market took the support near 17650/59300 and reversed but failed to surpass 17800/59800 resistance level which is broadly negative.
“Nifty supports now placed at 17650 and 17700. Sustenance above 17800 can open the way for 18150 as our next target. On the flip-side, 17650 is broken it will change the bias to bearish in the near term,” said Rahul Sharma, Director & Head – Research, JM Financial.
