However, right now the market is in a very large 600 point band and within that, it is very volatile. It is not breaking the recent low of 15,800 and it is not able to take out the 20-day moving average (DMA) on the upside around 16,400 – that is where the resistance is.
The Street expects some volatility in the market today and tomorrow on the back of the monthly expiry tomorrow. IT index is the weakest index right now in the market and banks have been resilient. This month, the Bank Nifty is down 5 percent and the IT index is down 10 percent.
