ANIL SINGHVI MARKET STRATEGY

Singhvi suggests buying at important support levels and profit-taking at the upper end of the trading range in a rather transactional domestic market, amid FII inflows but weak signals from crude oil, US bond yields and the dollar index.

He expects fresh buying to emerge once the Nifty and the Nifty Bank, which have strong support at 19,650-19,750 and 43,950-44,125 levels, cross the 19,850 and 44,800 levels on a closing basis.
