Summary - Overall
Overall, we may continue to see the markets remaining in a defined trading range with the zone of 21950-22000 acting as immediate support. Importantly, the low levels of VIX would require the market participants to stay cautious of any spike on this front as may adversely impact the markets.
It is worth noting that low levels of VIX are due to reduced volatility, and this
reflects complacency on the part of market participants.
Often major market tops are formed when VIX stays at its lowest levels for a prolonged period. In the present situation, it is of paramount importance that unless the Nifty forms a new high, we should be using all up moves to vigilantly protect profits at higher levels.
All fresh purchases must be made in the defensive pockets or in those stocks that are enjoying strong relative strength against the broader markets. Overall, a cautious approach is advised of the upcoming truncated week.
Thanks for reading.
