OUTLOOK

Today morning Asian markets are trading with gains ranging from 0.3%-1% and SGX Nifty is suggesting about 20 points higher opening for our market.

In yesterday's report we had said that immediate resistance on the hourly chart is placed around 8510, a crossover of which should be awaited for initiating fresh longs. The benchmark touched a high of 8504 yesterday before closing at 8492 and is likely to cross the 8510 hurdle at today's opening. In that case traders can initiate fresh longs for the immediate target of 8600, which is the 38.2% retracement level of entire 9119-8269 fall. Above 8600, 8700, the 50% retracement level, would be the next target.

Immediate support on the hourly chart is placed around 8460, which should serve as the stop loss for long positions.


India's Current Account Deficit for Q3 would be released today. Also in focus would be Core sector data for February.
