ANIL SINGHVI MARKET STRATEGY  

• FII index longs at 44 per cent vs 47 per cent the previous day

• Nifty put-call ratio (PCR) at 0.95 vs 1.0 per cent

• Nifty Bank PCR at 1.04 vs 0.93

• Volatility index India VIX down two per cent at 11.37

The market wizard expects strong support for the Nifty50 in the 22,300-22,400 zone ahead of the expiration of weekly derivatives due by the end of the day, amid strong buying in crude oil, metal and gold, and points out the emergence of strong selling by FIIs. He expects strong a move in the headline index once it settles above 22,550, following buying at lower levels over the past two days. 

Singhvi believes midcap and smallcap stocks are relatively better positioned amid some profit-taking in their largecap counterparts. 

He suggests investors buy stocks of companies with strong quarterly business updates.
