Market Awaits the RBI Action for Directions
- Nifty futures lost some 30 points on Monday but just kept itself above the previous swing low of 5700.
- The contract has recorded losses for the past six trading days, and therefore, is ripe for a short covering rally.
- However, any such market action would certainly be dependent on the outcome of RBI interest rate action. If the RBI limits the rate hike to just to 25 basis points ( repo and reverse repo rates ), a relief rally can be expected.
- Such a relief rally may still encounter resistance at around the Monday's high of 5790.
- Monday's trading has not yet significantly changed the technical position of the market. For a detailed analysis of various market scenarios, please read the previous post which described the various market scenarios.
