Mumbai: On Tuesday, the S&P BSE Sensex settled at 57,858.15 points. Except IT, all other sectoral indices ended in the green with PSU bank, power, auto and bank rose 2-4 percent. BSE midcap and small cap indices gained 0.8-1 percent. Bulls attempt to re-group back in action. After early morning market swoon, the benchmark NSE Nifty swooped higher in the final hour of trade. On Tuesday, to turn around from the sell-off themes, the bulls took good support from good earnings report from stocks like Axis Bank, ICICI Bank and Maruti.
Long story short: All bulls eye FMOC meeting outcome to trickle in on January 26 and expect no big change on interest rate and then focus on Union Budget 2022 -2023. Technically, Sensex' daily charts are still painting a bearish picture; downside risk seen at 54,924 mark. From a chartist standpoint, the technical landscape will improve considerably only above Sensex 59,532 mark. So, until this resistance, volatility will be hallmark and the perma-bulls should strictly not assume any intraday strength as light at the end of the tunnel.
Massive profit booking will again be the preferred theme in near term if the Federal Reserve turns out to be more hawkish at FOMC meet. "We remain cautious on markets on backdrop of anticipation of a populist budget -- ahead of elections in five States," says Shrikant Chauhan, head of equity research (Retail), Kotak Securities.
