Top 10 Short-Term Trading Ideas by Experts for the February Series
Indian market closed in the red for the week ended January 22 after snapped 3 weeks of winning streak. The S&P BSE Sensex and Nifty50 fell by about 0.4 percent each while the big fall was seen in the small & midcaps.
Experts advise investors remain cautious as it is the expiry week where traders will rollover their bets from the current January series to the February series.
“The Nifty50 is trading at overbought levels with the market struggling to hold on to the current levels. Nevertheless, the Nifty continues to be in a bullish trend and is expected to continue with this trend unless it breaks the support level of Nifty 14,200,” Umesh Mehta, heads of research at SAMCO Group.
“A break below this level can also lead to a swath of investors who will look to book profits and can push the index as low as 13,100 levels. Hence, we believe that traders should tread cautiously from hereon,” he added.
“We expect the Nifty50 to settle near the 14,500 mark with strong support emerging near 14,200 levels. The index could climb towards the resistance mark near 14,700-14,750 on the upside,” Navneet Daga, Senior Derivatives Analyst – Institutional Equities, YES SECURITIES.
“Interestingly, India VIX remained still near lower band even in correction days that indicates trader’s expectation of a mild correction, and wild intraday gyration to continue,” he added.
