Indian equity benchmarks Nifty50 and Sensex managed to close in green for two consecutive trading sessions on the back of rally led by banking stocks, ignoring weak global cues.

The market took positive cues from the banking sector after the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) allowed banks to spread out the bond losses over the next four quarters.

After a gap down opening, markets remained mildly volatile for most of the day; however, last hour buying helped the Nifty to close with gains above its 20-EMA (10,240 marks); forming a bullish Candle pattern on the daily scale.

If Nifty50 manages to hold and sustain above 10,250-mark in the next few trading sessions, it can move higher till the resistance of 10,450 – 10,500 levels (50DMA – 10,507). The immediate support is seen around 10,186 (200DMA) and 10,100 levels.

The Relative Strength Index – RSI on the Daily Chart is at 48.07 which is in a neutral zone with no divergence against the price. The MACD is trading with positive crossover but remains below the zero line, which indicates that the bias could remain neutral to bullish for the next few trading sessions.

On the Options front, maximum Call open interest of 34.91 lakh contracts is seen at strike price 11,000, followed by 10,500, which now holds 33.05 lakh contracts and maximum Put open interest of 44.76 lakh contracts is seen at strike price 10,000, followed by 9800 which now holds 31.18 lakh contracts.

As per the option data, in Nifty immediate support is seen around 10,000 levels whereas 10,500 will act as a hurdle in April expiry.

The India VIX ends down by 1.06 percent at 15.18 and is still trading above the crucial mark of 14 which indicates mild (intraday) volatility to remain in coming trading sessions as we are getting closer to Q4 earnings cycle.
