For the Nifty Bank, he expects support to come in at 45,425-45,550 and a strong base at 44,950-45,150 levels.

Here's how Anil Singhvi sums up the market setup:

• Global: Positive

• FII: Neutral

• DII: Negative

• F&O: Positive

• Sentiment: Neutral

• Trend: Positive

Singhvi expects a higher zone for the Nifty50 at 21,675-21,750 and a strong sell zone at 21,775-21,850 levels. For the banking index, he expects a higher zone at 46,075-46,250 and a profit-booking zone at 46,300-46,475 levels. 

ANIL SINGHVI MARKET STRATEGY 

The market wizard expects plenty of opportunities for investors in the midcap and smallcap segments, following Friday's market recovery, on the back of two straight sessions of gains on Wall Street, which emerged despite FII outflows amounting to Rs 20,000 crore in two days.

He believes Saturday will be a make-or-break session for the Nifty Bank, amid light positions in the banking index as well as the Nifty50 following the respective expiries of their weekly derivatives contracts. 

ICICI Bank, Kotak Mahindra Bank and IDFC First Bank results, due on Saturday, will dictate market direction, he says.

Singhvi suggests focusing on the Nifty50 on Saturday as well, instead of the banking index, and profit-taking at higher levels.
