“The market is facing downward pressure given the negative global cues. We had turned cautious after the indices moved up quite a bit recently with Sensex touching a high of 60,000. While the domestic story of economic recovery and reducing risks on the COVID-19 front remains intact, the unfolding debt crisis at China Evergrande Group and impending start of tapering by US Fed, have resulted in an unfavourable risk-reward scenario. Also, the valuations of Indian stocks have increased significantly with the P/E ratio of Nifty 50 Index crossing 27x, which is another critical factor to remain cautious in the markets right now," said Mohit Ralhan, Managing Partner & Chief Investment Officer of TIW Private Equity.

The index is facing resistance at higher levels and is unable to break lower levels. This is a trading opportunity in the making! If we get past 17950, the Nifty will scale up higher to 18050. If we break 17500 on a closing basis, we could see a correction that could take us closer to 17200. Manish Hathiramani, proprietary index trader and technical analyst, Deen Dayal Investments
NTPC was the top Sensex gainer, rising nearly 4 per cent in the morning deals
'On domestic front, stock specific news shall drive momentum on select counters. Promoter of HDFC AMC plans to offer 1.06 percent of its holding at a price of Rs 2,870 apiece, Lupin launches a new medicine in US, NCLT allows Future group to hold meetings of shareholders and creditors for scheme of arrangement with RIL, Bharti Airtel’s long-term rating has been upgraded to AA /Stable from AA/Stable, Allcargo Logistics appoints Jefferies as investment banker to evaluate fund raising opportunities. On technical front, 17,600 could be seen as the nearest support for Nifty50 while near term resistance could be seen around 18,000 levels,' said Mohit Nigam, Head - PMS, Hem Securities.
On the domestic front, equity indices are likely to remain in sync with their weaker Asian peers, following an overnight tumble on Wall Street. Nikkei, Topix, and Kospi are down by more than 1.8% in the early Asian market today. The sentiment can be seen moving towards risk-off mode and could be supportive for the dollar bulls. The hawkish comments from the Fed members and rising crude oil prices continued to support the US 10 year yield to jump above 1.55% and hence real rates too rose to the highest level since the June Fed meeting. The flow stories are likely to remain with us as month-end MSCI rebalancing and Aditya Birla IPO, Bank of India bond sale, HDFC borrowing through secured NCD could invite flows in the market. It would be interesting to watch how things for the USDINR pair unfold in the near term. The pair has given the breakout from its immediate resistance levels and is now expected to steadily move higher towards the 74.50 mark. If that is taken out then July high near 75 could be targeted. On the contrary front, the 73.90-74.10 zone is likely to act as a key support level. Amit Pabari, managing director, CR Forex Advisors

BSE Sensex fell 338 points to 59329, while Nifty 50 index plunged over 100 points to trade at 17630 on Wednesday
Before expiration, we should focus on 10 days SMA and 20 days SMA. On Wednesday, if the market falls below 20 days SMA, which is around 17500, we should be a contra buyer for a short period. On the higher side of the view, there will be major resistance levels for the 17800 and 17850 Nifty. Till the market is not crossing 17950, traders should reduce weak long positions at resistance levels. The Pharmaceutical stocks should do well in the medium term.
