What to expect from Dalal Street, Key Stock Market Indices, Sgx Nifty

For the Nifty50, this was the biggest increase in more than a year after Monday’s crisis, which was the worst in 10 months.
What do the charts suggest for Dalal Street now?
Crucial resistance awaits the 50 script index at 17,640, he said. “Holding above the last 8-9 session low highs could undo a short-term bearish setup for the index,” he added.
Dangerous zone
The Nifty signals a continuation of a near-term rebound, but is below its 50-day simple moving average in a broadly negative sign, said Shrikant Chouhan, head of equity research (retail) at Kotak Securities.
“As long as it is trading above 17,200, the uptrend texture will continue to the immediate hurdle of the 17,450-17,550 levels. On the other hand, a quick intraday correction is not not excluded if it trades below 17,200, which could be followed by 17,100-17,050 levels.
Here are the key things to know about the market ahead of the February 16 session:
Clever SGX
As of 7:40 a.m. Wednesday, Singapore Stock Exchange (SGX) Nifty futures – an early indicator of the Nifty index – rose 23 points or 0.1% to 17,371, suggesting a slightly positive start on Dalal Street.
Global Markets
European stock markets started strong in the green on Tuesday as investors around the world cheered the easing of geopolitical concerns. Russia has said some of its military units are returning to their bases after exercises near Ukraine, following warnings from the United States and the United Kingdom that Moscow could invade its neighbor at any time. The pan-European Stoxx 600 index rose 1.3% at the latest count.
S&P 500 futures rose 1.5%, suggesting a positive open ahead on Wall Street.
What to expect in Dalal Street
According to independent technical analyst Manish Shah, the buyers may have managed to take full control of the market, but the Nifty will remain volatile unless there is falls outside the 16,800-17,800 range on either side.
“The index should see a rally towards major resistance at 17,600-17,750, and at least trade above 17,600 in the next two days,” he said.
HDFC Securities’ Shetti sees immediate support for the index at 17,200 and believes its sustainability at higher levels will be important. He fears that any dip below the last lower high of 17,640 will set the bears into action.
