Ajit Mishra, SVP - Technical Research, Religare Broking
Markets traded volatile and ended almost unchanged, taking a breather after Tuesday’s decline. After the initial uptick, it resumed decline in no time however recovery in select heavyweights pared losses as the session progressed. On the sectoral front, a mixed trend continued wherein energy, FMCG and realty edged higher while metal and financials ended in the red.
We may see a breather after the recent fall but the tone is likely to remain negative. Participants should continue with the “sell on rise” approach until Nifty decisively reclaims 22,100 level. Also, we reiterate our preference for index majors over others and avoid adding to the loss making positions.

The index remained volatile ahead of the Fed's policy meeting. The overall sentiment remains negative as the index closed below the previous consolidation low. Additionally, the index ended the session below the critical moving average. However, a further fall is anticipated below the recent swing low on the hourly chart, which is positioned around 21700. On the higher end, resistance is placed at 21900-22000.
Prashanth Tapse, Senior VP (Research), Mehta Equities
Markets displayed range-bound trend and ended marginally higher as caution prevailed ahead of the US Fed meet outcome on interest rate. While there will be little chance of rate tinkering, the Fed's commentary on inflation and its take on interest rate will be keenly watched. Rising oil prices and currency losing momentum in the last few days could fuel more volatility in the near term.

The Nifty witnessed an extremely volatile day of trade today. It opened with gains however was unable to sustain and sold off. Intraday it witnessed a sharp pullback from 21710 levels and closed the day marginally in the green up ~22 points. On the daily charts we can observe that the Nifty has taken support around the 78.6% Fibonacci retracement level of the previous rise from 21530 – 22526.
The momentum set up on the hourly time frame suggests exhaustion of selling pressure as there are signs of a positive divergence and is currently having a positive crossover. In terms of price pattern, the daily candle has taken form of a Doji pattern which suggests indecision among market participants regarding the direction as both bulls and bears are trying hard to defend their respective boundaries. This could lead to consolidation and the range could be 21700 – 22000.
Bank Nifty closed the day on a negative note for the Ninth consecutive trading session. The fall has found support at the lower end of the rising channel and daily lower Bollinger band placed at 45800. The hourly momentum indicator has a positive crossover which is a buy signal. Thus, we can expect a recovery to 46800 – 46950 over the next few trading sessions.

On March 20, Indian benchmark indices closed with marginal gains amidst a volatile session. At the close, the Sensex was up 89.64 points or 0.12 percent at 72,101.69, while the Nifty gained 21.60 points or 0.10 percent, closing at 21,839.10.
The Sensex and Nifty ended higher amid volatility ahead of the Fed meeting outcomes. After a flat positive start, the Nifty experienced a dip near the 21,700 level, reaching a low of 21,710.65, then bounced back above 21,900, peaking at 21,930 before closing at 21,855.10. The daily chart showed the formation of a doji candlestick, indicating continued bearish pressure in the market.
Technical analysis suggests that the Nifty has broken down daily trend line, hinting at a potential reversal of the uptrend. Furthermore, it has dipped below the critical short-term moving average, signaling weakening momentum. The Relative Strength Index (RSI) has also displayed a bearish crossover, indicating mounting selling pressure. Key levels to monitor include resistance at 22,000 and support at 21,700. A breach below 21,700 could trigger further correction towards the 21,600 levels.
Examination of the Open Interest (OI) data reveals the highest OI on the call side at the 22,000 strike price, followed by the 22,300 strike price. On the put side, the highest OI was observed at the 21,500 strike price.
Kunal Shah, Senior Technical & Derivative Analyst at LKP Securities
The Bank Nifty encountered another round of volatility, with the ongoing struggle between bulls and bears persisting, particularly ahead of the US Fed meeting. Key support lies within the 46000-45800 zone, and maintaining these levels on a closing basis suggests a continued bullish stance.
Immediate resistance is positioned at 47000, coinciding with the 20DMA, and a decisive close above this level could reignite the upward trend, targeting levels around 48000-48500.
Vinod Nair, Head of Research, Geojit Financial Services
Lifted by favourable global sentiment and solid direct tax collection, Indian markets rebounded, closing with modest gains. Robust FII & DII inflows sustained the market. As per latest market consensus, the odds of rate cut in June have reduced.
The US Fed is likely to delay the cut rate to the latter part of the year due to a resilient economy. Domestic mid & small caps are likely to lag large caps driven by premium valuations, in the short-term.

Sensex Today | Anuj Choudhary Research Analyst, Sharekhan by BNP Paribas
Indian Rupee depreciated by 0.11% on Wednesday on strong US Dollar and elevated crude oil prices. However, late recovery in domestic markets cushioned the downside. US Dollar strengthened on weak Euro and Pound after disappointing inflation data. German PPI declined by 0.4% in February 2024 versus forecast of -0.1%. UK CPI rose at 3.4% in February 2024, at a slower pace as compared to 4% in January 2024 and forecast of 3.5%.
We expect Rupee to trade with a negative bias on strong US Dollar and expectations of bounce back in crude oil prices. However, positive global equities may support the domestic currency. Traders will watch out for FOMC meeting outcome. Markets expect the monetary policy to remain unchanged but will look forward to Fed Chair, Jerome Powell’s speech for further guidance and Fed’s Dot plot. USDINR spot price is expected to trade in a range of Rs 82.90 to Rs 83.40.

Stock Market LIVE Updates | Anindya Banerjee, Head of Currency and Derivatives Research, Kotak Securities
Investors are exhibiting caution in anticipation of the upcoming US Fed meeting. The fear is Fed’s dot plot may hint at two cuts instead of three, which the US bond market is hinting at. If the Fed sticks with the three rate cut path and sounds dovish, then it can be positive for Indian equity markets and currency.
Stock Market LIVE Updates | Vinod Nair, Head of Research, Geojit Financial Services
Whenever, the US Bond yield reaches or is nearing 4.335% level, the equity markets world over, including Indian markets start correcting. Currently, the US Bond yields are hovering around its peak level and if it crosses once again above the previous high of October 2022, prospects of correction in the domestic market are expected to brighten. The correction which we are seeing right now may continue further and Foreign Portfolio Investors (FPIs), which are currently in a lull phase in the domestic market, may turn active in pulling out funds.
Stock Market LIVE Updates | Market expecting 3 rate cuts by Fed in 2024
"Market is anticipating three rate cut announcements by the US Federal Reserve (US Fed) in calendar year 2024 (CY24). The first-rate cut is expected in June but the probability of this rate cut to materialize has come down from 69% a week ago to 59% currently. There’s no possibility of any rate cut announcement by the Federal Open Markets Committee (FOMC) of the US Fed during its Wednesday meeting. Also, the possibility of the US Fed cutting its interest rates soon is fading fast as the US inflation rate, currently at 3.15%, is still hovering much above the comfort level of 2%. All eyes and ears are now glued to the commentary to be given by US Fed chairman Jerome Powell," said Apurva Sheth, Head of Market Perspectives & Research, SAMCO Securities
