Top buy and sell ideas by Ashwani Gujral, Sudarshan Sukhani, Mitesh Thakkar for short term

The market saw the biggest ever single day loss on March 9 amid fears of a likely impact of novel coronavirus (COVID-19) on global economic growth and price war between oil producing behemoths like Saudi Arabia and Russia after OPEC and allies failed to agree on production cuts.

The correction in benchmark indices was in line with global peers, which ended with losses of 3-8 percent on March 9.

The Sensex plunged 1,941.67 points, or 5.17 percent, to 35,634.95. The Nifty tanked 538 points, or 4.9 percent, to 10,451.50 and formed a large bearish candle on the daily charts.

However, after the steep fall, global markets rebounded on March 10 amid hope of additional stimulus measures and on reports that US President Donald Trump may float the idea of payroll tax cut or relief to assuage the impact of coronavirus on the economy.

According to pivot charts, the key support level for the Nifty is placed at 10,246.83, followed by 10,042.17. If the index moves up, the key resistance levels to watch out for are 10,703.83 and 10,956.17.

The Bank Nifty closed at 26,462.60, down 1,338.85 points. The important pivot level, which will act as crucial support for the index, is placed at 25,893.47, followed by 25,324.33. On the upside, key resistance levels are placed at 27,061.67 and 27,660.73.
