Nifty
Two sessions of recovery – and the questions which we all have, Pullback or recovery. Well, the chart structure is not yet repaired. Prices remain well below all short-term and long-term moving averages, RSI is bouncing from extreme oversold territory around 24 but no bullish divergence is visible yet. There isn’t any reversal pattern or base formation. The deeply oversold indicators and market breadth data hinted a pullback – which is what we are seeing in the markets. The 23,700 and 23850 is the immediate battleground — the index needs to build and sustain above this level to signal some bullish momentum. After a steep fall, last 2 trading action is a counter pullback – which can extend to test the resistance levels mentioned. On the downside, 23,350 is the immediate support

Bank Nifty
Bank Nifty has a steady session – as it bounce back from the supports. The level of 5300 is important monthly support zone. RSI is bouncing off extreme oversold near 23 — short covering is likely driving a part of this recovery. The recovery could extend further to test 55000 and 55650 levels.

Conclusion
The market is in a delicate recovery mode. Tonight's FOMC decision is the next major event Stay measured, avoid chasing the recovery aggressively. Be extremely selective in stocks with a reduced capital allocation.
