Market Experts' Insights
Prashanth Tapse, Senior VP (Research), Mehta Equities 
Following Friday’s trade, the Dow Jones Industrial Average continued its winning streak, while the Nifty faces technical uncertainty, residing below key moving averages with a potential double top pattern. Caution prevails amid pre-election jitters, exacerbated by a surge in the India VIX. Options data suggests Nifty’s trading range at 21700-22500, with notable resistance at 22500 and support at 21800. Key catalysts this week include Jerome Powell's speech, US CPI data, and Q4 results from prominent Indian companies. A recommended strategy involves buying Nifty on dips within 21700-21750, targeting 22300/22601, with Bank Nifty advice for buying within 46900-47100, targeting 47951/48301.
