Domestically, for the past week, Indian equities don’t seem promising for FII as they sold stocks for the sixth consecutive day worth almost Rs 5080 crores. Investors fear that the spread of the delta virus variant could further add to lockdown restrictions and impact economic growth. That apart, market participants pledge that the new support measures by the government may provide some temporary relief but would not be sufficient to boost the economy. Also, the continuing rising oil prices are adding pressure to the Rupee. This could turn negative for domestic markets in addition to the global risk-off sentiment and could take flows back to safe heaven US. Broadly, the Indian Rupee is likely to trade sideways in the range of 73.70-74.50 zone in the near term before any big market trigger takes it towards 75.00-75.20 levels in the upcoming time.

The market failed at 15900/52900 levels, which is upward boundary for the market and weakness from the same could result in gradual weakness towards 15670/52300 that is the lower boundary of the trading range and coincidently 20 days EMA is also placed at the same levels that should act as reversal point for the market.
