Important news/developments to influence markets

 Japanese retail sales fell for the third straight month in February as households kept a lid on expenditure amid the
  coronavirus emergency, underscoring the fragile nature of the economy’s recovery from last year’s slump. Retail
  sales lost 1.5 percent in February from a year earlier.

 Economic confidence across the European Union has hit its highest level since Covid-19 hit Europe early last year, as
  consumers and businesses express more optimism about future prospects. Economic Sentiment Indicator (ESI) rose
  in both the EU, jumping 6.9 points to 100, and the euro area, where it surged by 7.6 points to 101.0.

 Consumer confidence in the US improved sharply in March with the Conference Board's Consumer Confidence Index
  rising to 109.7 from 90.4 in February.

 United States home prices increased at the fastest pace in seven years in January as the coronavirus pandemic has
  fuelled demand for single-family houses even as the supply for such homes shrinks. The Index rose 11.1% in January
  from a year earlier.

   Daily Technical View on Nifty
Observation: Markets ended with hefty gains on            Nifty      View for     Reversal   7-Day     Reversal
Tuesday despite rising COVID cases. The Nifty finally                1-2 days                View
gained 337.8 points or 2.33% to close at 14,845.1.
                                                          14845       Bullish       14710    Bullish    14414
Broad market indices like the BSE Mid Cap and Small
Cap indices gained less, thereby under performing the
                                                                      Target                 Target
Sensex/Nifty. Market breadth was positive on the                      15000                  15336
BSE/NSE.
Sectorally, the top gainers were the BSE IT, Metal,
Healthcare and FMCG indices. There were no losers.         Nifty – Intraday 15 min. chart

Zooming into the 15 minute chart, we can see that the
Nifty opened today with an up gap. And buying
continued through the day as the index gradually
moved higher.
The 15 minute intra day moving averages are also
giving positive signals as the 20 period moving average
is above the 50 period moving average and the Nifty
index is trading above both these MA on the 15 min
intra charts. It will be important that the Nifty holds
above the recent swing lows of 14710 for the short
term uptrend to continue in the very near term.
On the daily chart, the Nifty has bounced back from an
upward sloping trend line and closed above the 20 and
50 day SMA. This indicates that the bulls are gaining
control after the recent weakness from all time highs.
A reversal of the recent downtrend would be
confirmed once the Nifty closes above the recent           Nifty – Daily Timeframe chart
swing high of 14879. In this scenario, the Nifty could
once again be headed towards the life highs of 15432.
Conclusion: The 1-2 day trend of the Nifty remains
positive with the Nifty breaking out of an intra day
trading range and holding above its 15 minute intra
day moving averages.
On the larger daily timeframe, the index has bounced
back from a trend line support and also closed above
the 20 and 50 day SMA, indicating that the bulls are
gaining an upper hand.
A reversal of the recent downtrend would be
confirmed once the Nifty closes above the recent
swing high of 14879.
