Nifty Today:

Our markets had ended last week with overbought momentum setups on the lower time frame charts. Such set-ups usually lead to either a time-wise correction or a price-wise correction and hence the pullback is much on expected lines. We could see further price or time correction for next couple of sessions ahead of the Fed. Policy meet. The outcome of the event is likely to have significant impact on the global markets and hence, our markets too will then have more clarity on the next directional move. Hence, traders should look for stock specific opportunities for next couple of sessions and be vigilant on the market movement post the event. The immediate support for Nifty is placed around 16500 followed by 16400 while 16750-16800 is the immediate resistance zone. 

Amongst sectoral indices, the Nifty Metal index outperformed other sectors as the Dollar Index has cooled-off from the swing highs and since the metal stocks have inverse correlation with the DXY, they have been witnessing some relief rally. On the other hand, some of the Auto stocks corrected as post the recent outperformance the momentum readings in the Nifty Auto index have reached overbought zone and have shown signs of a correction within an uptrend.
