Nifty to reclaim 17,700 or will bears take over ahead of Budget? 7 things to know before share market opens

Benchmark indices BSE Sensex and NSE Nifty are likely to open in the positive territory on Tuesday as hinted by the SGX Nifty. On the Singapore Exchange, Nifty futures traded 63 points higher at 17,768, signaling a positive start for the domestic share market. In the previous session, Sensex closed 0.3% up at 59,500, while the Nifty advanced 0.25% to 17,648. “The index erased its entire day’s losses to close with gains of 45 points 17649. Sectorial was a mixed bag with IT being top gainer – up 1% while Oil & Gas declined by 3% ahead of Q3 results of heavyweight BPCL and Gail. The recent selling pressure on Adani Group stocks and banking has dampened investor sentiment with Nifty down more than 2% in the last five days. In the near term, we expect the market to remain volatile amid expectation running around the upcoming budget,” Siddhartha Khemka, MOFSL.Key things to know before the share market opensGlobal Market Watch

After showing a decisive downside breakout of broader range movement of 18200-17800 levels on Friday, the Nifty not showing any sharp follow-through weakness on Monday could be a positive sign for the bulls to make a comeback from the lows,” said Nagaraj Shetti, Technical Research Analyst, HDFC Securities.

Levels to Watch

“Technically, Nifty has managed to close in green but 17800 would be an important level for fresh buying opportunity. Advance decline indicates 796 closed on the higher side while 1264 stocks closed lower. Indicators such as RSI and MACD still remain on the lower side and indicate weakness. Coming to the OI Data, on the call side, the highest OI observed at 17800 followed by 18000 strike price while on the put side, the highest OI was at 17300 followed by 17100 strike price,” said Om Mehra, Equity Research Analyst, Choice Broking.
