“Although markets remained range-bound with a positive tendency on Thursday, market volatility could continue in the near term. The Nifty is gaining traction, with bullish expectations for a test of near-term resistance at 18,000 levels. On the downside, prices have support at 17750-17680 levels. A successful close over 18000 will trigger a breakout in the index, potentially leading to prices in the 18100-18200 range.” – Om Mehra, Equity Research Analyst at Choice Broking.

“Q3 results from the broader market indicate pressure on margins. Many mid and small-cap results are disappointing. Now, safety is in large caps. Investors should focus on segments where earnings visibility is good, like capital goods, IT and banking.” – V K Vijayakumar, Chief Investment Strategist at Geojit Financial Services. 

“A healthy trend in the market is the sustained rise in SIPs into equity which has touched Rs 13,856 crores in January this year. Rising inflows when the market is weak is a very healthy trend and can act as a counter to the rising FII outflows. This will bring stability to the market.” – V K Vijayakumar, Chief Investment Strategist at Geojit Financial Services. 

“With the Budget, monetary policy and earnings season behind us, there are no major triggers to take the market forward. Rallies are likely to be sold since FIIs have been sustained sellers in the market since the beginning of 2023. But, the fact that FII selling has declined to Rs 144 crores (on 9th February) is positive.” – V K Vijayakumar, Chief Investment Strategist at Geojit Financial Services.
