Zomato, Paytm, Nykaa, Policybazaar, and other new-age internet companies were witnessing some strong selling pressure on Dalal Street on Monday. Foreign investors pulling funds out, concern over faster than expected US Federal Reserve policy tightening, and a global sell-off in tech stocks is aiding the worst rout seen by these new-age platform companies since those got listed in recent quarters. While Paytm’s stock price has largely only seen bearish movement on Dalal Street, all others have had their fair share of bulls; but all witnessed heavy correction today.
As per the data, Since Jan 2000 the nifty close below Weekly S2 pivot levels only 97 times out of 1152 weeks. S2 levels are 16952. Nifty made low of 16997.85. Max OI till yesterday was at 17000 levels. Today it is added further so far.
Chances are that we are near to lows. Before budget. Stop loss for the view is 16900 on closing basis.

BSE Sensex and NSE Nifty 50 extended the sell-off to the fifth straight session on Monday on the back of weak global sentiment amid concerns over inflation and monetary policy tightening. Analysts say that rising oil prices, the monthly expiry of January month derivatives contract, and the run-up to the Union Budget 2022 have also induced choppiness in the markets. BSE Sensex crashed over 2,000 points or 3.5 to 56,984 on Monday, while Nifty 50 plunged over 500 points or 3.5 per cent to 16,998. Long term investors can look to enter the markets at these levels, an analyst said.
India VIX, the volatility gauge, was up 21.6% on Monday. The fear gauge regained 23 levels, the highest it has been in recent months.
Bears continued to maintain strong hold in Indian markets as domestic markets are tracking cues and following their global peers. Inflation concerns and hawkish Fed appear to be the major reasons leading to pessimistic approach of investors. With the economy returning to normalcy, inflation, which has risen globally owing to supply chain issues, is expected to cool. Guarav Garg, Head of Research at CapitalVia Global Research
Technically, 17150 will be a critical support level which is a 61.8% retracement of the previous rally from 17410 to 18350; below this, we can expect Nifty to move towards its 200-DMA that may coincide with 16800 level. If Nifty manages to recover from the 16150 level then we can expect a pullback rally where 17600-17800 will be an immediate resistance area. The overall trend is bullish where we are seeing a period of correction and this may surprise us with a deeper cut but that will be a good buying opportunity. I have a bullish view on Banking, Capital goods, Real estate Infrastructure, and selective auto names. Parth Nyati, Founder, Tradingo
"Nifty has broken support of 17,380; next support seen at 17,150-17,050 zone. Expect markets to remain volatile till Fed meet/January expiry. 17,500 should now act as a resistance. Some consolidation is a must for any meaningful recovery to happen," said Rahul Sharma, Director & Head - Research, JM Financial.
We are seeing a meaningful correction in the market and the intensity of selling is very high on the back of heavy FIIs' selling. There is risk-off sentiment across the globe amid fear of tightening by the US fed. We are underperforming today and the main reason is global weakness while another reason is some margin calls got triggered especially in new edge companies and that is causing a ripple effect. Anecdotally, Monday remains ugly in a weak market because lots of unwinding is seen by those who carry over the weekend in hope of recovery. If we look at the last three years' trend then we see a pre-budget sell-off on the back of global weakness then we see a post-budget rally however the long-term trend in the first quarter of any calendar year means January to March remains weak. The market is overreacting to US Fed tightening and we may see some short-covering after the Fed meeting outcome scheduled on this Wednesday. Parth Nyati, Founder, Tradingo
Indian markets are under selling pressure due to weak global cues and domestic investors are in a wait and watch mode ahead of upcoming Union Budget 2022. FPIs are watching the US Federal Reserve decisions and geopolitical issues between Russia and Ukraine. Its a good entry level for long term investors to enter Indian markets in staggered manner.

With omicron covid cases possibly peaking which is a positive sign for the recovery of the economy. However, the selling pressure may continue till Thursday this week and if Nifty closes below 17200 then it may further go down till 16800 levels.

Markets are dragged down by inflation/rake hike worries; Fed speak this week will be important. However, given the ferocity of the down move, it also makes a good base for some pre-budged runup from here. In any case, maintaining 17200 for Nifty and 56000-56500 for Sensex will be crucial.

Selloff has continued for the fifth day in a row; Nifty has lost over 1200 points from its 1800+ points of technical pullback. However, on the short term charts, the selling seems overdone and we may see some technical pullback even if there is no major change in the directional consensus. Nifty has strong support at 17200 in form of an trend line. This trendline begins from the top of 18600 and joins the subsequent lower top. It would be crucial to see if these supports are defended. Milan Vaishnav, CMT, MSTA, Consulting Technical Analyst and founder, Gemstone Equity Research & Advisory Services
Shares of new-age internet giants such as Paytm, Zomato, Nykaa, were all deep in red on Monday. Global tech rout, foreign investors selling and premium valuations are among reasons aiding their fall.
Fear of rate hikes by all central banks and inflation are major worries at the given point in time. If inflation continues with current speed global market will come into recession. Pandemic is becoming history now as many countries have eased restrictions. This will give comfort to central banks to take action to control the liquidity flow.

Musk added that the social media giant is not spending its resources well.
Zomato is witnessing a vertical fall and slipped below the low made on a listing day which is not a good sign for any counter. There is a risk-off situation across the globe amid fear of tightening by the US Fed where if we look at the trend then there is a sharp sell-off in growth stocks (new edge businesses) especially loss-making companies. Many new edge companies came out with unrealistic valuations amid euphoria in the market but we know that only a few companies will survive in the long run and I believe Zomato has the potential to perform in the long run. The recent price correction is leading to stock at a reasonable valuation where aggressive investors can use this correction as a buying opportunity with a long-term view.

Reliance Industries Ltd (RIL) share price traded flat with a negative bias on Monday morning while benchmark indices continued to remain under the firm grip of bears. Mukesh Ambani’s Reliance Industries reported a strong quarterly report card, where net profit shot up 41.5% on-year basis to clock in Rs 18,549 crore (including an exceptional gain). RIL’s total income rose 52% from the previous year to reach Rs 1.95 lakh crore. RIL share price hit an intraday high of Rs 2,504 per share, up 1% from the previous week’s closing, but fell flat minutes into the day’s trade. That outperformed benchmark indices BSE Sensex and NSE Nifty, which were down more than 1% each.
We expect Nifty to hold key support threshold of 17400 and stage a pullback. Hence use intraday dip towards 17438-17470 for creating long position for target of 17559.
