What will happen today? 

Nifty Index: Today, the Nifty Index may open on a positive note by tracking global indices near 17940-17975 levels; if open, trade and sustain above 17975 then, the index may test 18020-18050-18070-18095-18125-18140-18170-18195-18215 levels. On the other hand, the immediate support lies at 17865-17840 if, the Index move below 17840 then, it may try to re-visit 17825-17800-17780-17725-17685-17640 levels.

Special Mention: Yesterday, the Nifty Index continued the down move till 17824 and closed below our threshold support levels i.e, 17940; today, the Index must break 18050-18140 levels, if it moves and sustain above 18140 then, it may re-test 18265-18475 levels in the near term, the Nifty Index may face strong resistance near 18265-18320 band in the near term, it must move and close above these levels atleast for three consecutive trading sessions, then only further up move is possible till 18475-18600-18700 levels. On the other hand, the strong support lies at 17825-17775-17725, if the Index moves below 17775-17725 then, it may try to re-visit 17640-17430-16950 levels in the near term. Let see how the Index opens today at 17940-17975 levels, the intra volatility may be in a high note due to today's weekly option expiry, tomorrow's week-end factor, India Inc results and IIP-cum-Annual Inflation data, trade with due caution and aviod aggressive short/long position unless the Nifty Index moves and close above 18265 or moves below 17775 levels.
