Anil Singhvi Market Strategy: Zee Business Managing Editor Anil Singhvi sees support emerging at 21,900-21,950 levels and a strong buy zone at 21,800-21,850 levels for the headline Nifty50 index on Friday, March 22.

For the Nifty Bank, he expects support to come in at 46,250-46,400 levels and a strong buy zone at 45,825-46,025 levels.

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

• Global: Positive

• FII: Positive

• DII: Positive

• F&O: Neutral

• Sentiment: Neutral

• Trend: Positive

He expects a higher zone for the headline index at 22,075-22,125 levels and a strong sell zone at 22,150-22,250 levels. 

For the banking index, Singhvi expects a higher zone at 46,975-47,175 levels and a strong sell zone at 47,325-47,525 levels. 

ANIL SINGHVI MARKET STRATEGY  

• FII index longs at 33 per cent vs 31 per cent 
• Nifty put-call ratio (PCR) at 1.17 vs 0.79
• Nifty Bank PCR unchanged at 0.92
• Volatility index India VIX down 7.1 per cent at 12.51

The market wizard believes traders will get ample opportunities to act on both sides ahead of a long weekend on Dalal Street owing to the Holi market holiday on Monday. He points out strong signals from global markets, decent buying by domestic funds, and strong buying by FIIs in the F&O segment even though they took out funds from the spot market. 

Singhvi suggests market participants buy at important support levels in case of a weak start to the day, with strong support for the Nifty50 and the Nifty Bank expected at 21,850-21,950 and 46,250-46,400 levels, respectively. 

Investors may also book profit at higher levels, and pick midcap and smallcap stocks selectively, he adds.

Is it a good time to buy IT stocks?

Singhvi highlights that a significant fall follows a significant rise in Accenture and investors should not be deterred by it. Although he warns of weakness in stocks such as Wipro and LTIMindtree, he advocates buying in case of a significant dip in the sector. 

The market guru says Coforge, Tech Mahindra and TCS look better than the rest of the pack at the moment.
