Targets of sub 22700 have been met along with testing of 200 WMA. With oil stabilizing near $100 / bbl and US10Y nearing its 2007 resistance any further extended downside is not seen.The MMI index reading is also at sub 20 mark which suggests extreme fear on indices. A closing above the 200 WMA is now needed by today's end of day to confirm this reversal attempt on Nifty. Level to watch for is 22600 with today’s weekly closing, only below the same a fresh downside opens.Bond Yields have rallied in US due to strong economic data along with weak demand in t-bill auction which has triggered fear of further rate hike to cool off inflation which is high due to sustained elevation of oil prices. Spread between India and US10Y has hit a fresh multi decade low with spread now at 188 bps.Bank NiftyBank Nifty is down -950 odd points for this week after completing both of its downside targets of 55050/54650 on Tuesday. Markets are pricing in a 25 bps rate hike by the RBI in its MPC meet next week which could widen the spread between US10Y yields and India 10Y yields allowing some solace in the selloff.US10Y is also surging towards its 2007 resistance of 5.29%. Currently we are shifting the stance to wait and watch as it has completed its downside target sharply. The important level to defend on downside is 53850 in tomorrow's weekly closing.(Disclaimer: Recommendations and views on the stock market, or any other asset classes or personal finance management tips given by experts and analysts are their own.
