Market Outlook for March- Positive bias in Nifty futures; Here are the key levels to watch

By Gaurav Arora                               

The March series Nifty futures is currently trading with a premium of around 155 points. For the Index futures, FII has recently reduced shorts inducing their Net Index Long exposure to 45% which was at 22% at the start of series.

The Index is likely to trade with Positive Bias till 21700 is not breached on a closing basis, for the first fortnight of the Mar series. 21600-700 might be the immediate support and only a decisive close below it might bring in further downside. 

VIX for the Nifty is currently at around 16 and likely to remain in the 14 to 18 range implying a range of around 950 points in a month. For the Nifty, the IVs for the options remained around 15 levels in yesterday’s trade.

The ratio between Bank Nifty and Nifty is currently at 2.10, this ratio has a support at 2.03 and resistance near 2.20. We expect Bank Nifty to trade in tandem with Nifty going forward.

Sector-wise, Chemicals and Nifty Private Banks look good in Nifty.
