PremiumBenchmark indices started trading on Tuesday in the green. The gains were quickly ceded and the indices traded in the red through the day. The first half of the day saw sideways trading with Nifty holding on to the 18,000 mark and Sensex over the 16,200 mark. The indices pared gains in the second half of the day. The broader indices helped the markets while sectoral indices pared gains from earlier in the day. Midcap indices and industrials retained gains of over 0.5% across the day.

Nifty traded in a sideways range today. It closed at 18,051 , down by 17 points. Nifty is currently trading near its 20-day moving average and it is important for Nifty to close above 18,100 with higher than average volumes. Nifty will face resistance in 18,200 to 18,300 range and has support at 17,950 and 17,800 levels.
The Nifty has closed above 18,000 which is a positive sign. However, it is still indecisive and is facing resistance at higher levels. If we can sustain these levels, the markets can scale up higher to 18,400 and then 18,600. We have good support at 17,600 and hence long positions can be accumulated for higher targets.

Overall the global cues were a bit favourable in the morning and hence after a long break, our markets opened with a decent upside gap to test 18,000. However within few minutes of trade, all these gains just disappeared and in fact, we went on to slide below 17,850. However market was not done with its twists and turns as we saw strong buying interest at lower levels to pull the market higher. The positive momentum gained some pace post the mid-session to surpass the morning high. Eventually, Nifty ended the session with more than eight tenths of a percent gains.
Market witnessed a complete roller coaster yesterday as the volatility was at its best. Fortunately it ended in favour of the bulls as we managed to reclaim the 18000 and ended the session almost at the highest point of the day. The only pocket that kept sulking yesterday was the banking space and the sole culprit there was the IndusInd Bank as it plunged more than 10% on the back of some negative news flow. Now are we completely out of the woods after yesterday’s move? the answer is not yet, because if we have to regain any strength, we need to surpass the sturdy wall of 18,100–18,200. Till then one still needs to avoid aggressive longs. On the flipside, 18,000 followed by 17,850 are to be seen as immediate supports.
The broader market did extremely well yesterday and throughout the day (especially in the latter half), some of the individual stocks gave excellent moves. Hence, traders can still capitalize on such potential bets; but need to follow strict money management.

The benchmark S&P 500 index and the Nasdaq extended their run of all-time closing highs to eight straight sessions, while the blue-chip Dow notched its second consecutive record closing high.

A 4.9% decline in Tesla Inc shares weighed on the S&P 500. Tesla fell after Chief Executive Elon Musk's Twitter poll on whether he should sell about 10% of his stock in the electric automaker. The pan-European STOXX 600 index rose 0.06%.

Asian stocks rose Tuesday after US equities extended a winning streak on optimism that the economic recovery can weather inflation risks. The dollar and Treasuries held declines. Shares advanced modestly in Japan, South Korea and Australia. US futures slipped after the S&P 500 eked out a gain to cement its longest winning run since 2017. A drop in Tesla Inc. weighed on the Nasdaq 100: Elon Musk’s Twitter followers in a poll he set up voted in favour of the billionaire selling 10% of his stake in the firm. Treasury yields held a climb amid a weak three-year auction. Meanwhile, the yield on 30-year Treasury inflation-protected securities slid to a record low, a sign of ongoing concerns about price pressures shadowing the global economy. Coronavirus treatments, easing travel curbs and the passage of a $550 billion US infrastructure bill have boosted sentiment. Key central banks have also indicated they plan to scale back loose monetary policy very gradually, in part on expectations that inflationary pressures caused by creaking supply chains and energy prices will prove temporary.
