Nifty Today:

 The global markets witnessed a recovery post the Fed meeting outcome which resulted in a recovery in our markets too. There are significant short positions outstanding in the index futures segment where 85 percent of the positions of FIIs are on the short side. Now, if we see a recovery in the global markets, then there's a possibility of some short covering of these positions which can lead to further pullback moves in the short term. In next few sessions, 19000-18950 will be seen as the immediate support zone, while 19200-19250 is the near term hurdle. In case of any such short covering move, if the Nifty surpasses the above mentioned hurdle then would see an up move up to 19450 in next few sessions. The market breadth was positive indicating a good stock specific movement.
