Pre-market action: Here’s the trade setup for today’s session

Indian equities ended marginally higher on Friday, with the Nifty gaining 0.1% to 23,898, supported by positive global cues and easing expectations of a near-term US Fed rate hike. Analysts say markets are likely to see some relief, supported by easing expectations of a near-term US Fed rate hike and softer global bond yields. However, elevated Brent crude around US$95/bbl and continued West Asian tensions remain key risks to the recovery.

STATE OF THE MARKETS

Tech View: The short-term trend is likely to remain weak as the index continues to trade below the 50-EMA on the hourly chart. A sell-on-rise sentiment may continue to prevail as long as the index remains below the 24,000–24,200 zone. On the lower end, support is placed at 23,830 and 23,700.
India VIX: India VIX, which is a measure of the fear in the markets, fell 5.8% to settle at 10.68.
