Morning View On The Market From Dr. V K Vijayakumar, Chief Investment Strategist, Geojit Financial Services
There is no consistency in FII and DII behaviour so far this month. They are doing alternative bouts of buying and selling which is restricting the market in a range. The market needs triggers to break out or breakdown from this range. A probable negative trigger can be a slightly hawkish statement from the Fed postponing the rate cuts which the market expects to begin by March 2023. The US CPI inflation data due tonight will provide cues regarding this.
The Q3 results season starting today with the results of TCS and Infy will provide indications of the Nifty earnings for FY24. Financials, capital goods, telecom, automobiles and hotels will post good numbers. IT results will be tepid and FMCG will be a mixed bag.
More than broad market action, market responses will be stock-specific in response to results and management commentary.

SEC approves 11 Bitcoin spot ETFs
Mr Edul Patel CEO of Mudrex said, "The approval of spot Bitcoin ETFs by the SEC marks a significant milestone after a decade of anticipation and regulatory challenges. The decision to greenlight 11 spot Bitcoin ETFs reflects a growing acceptance and recognition of digital assets within traditional financial markets. This move is expected to bring about increased adoption, liquidity and overall market maturity. It also signifies a shift in the perception of cryptocurrencies from a niche asset class to one that is gaining mainstream acceptance. The fact that these ETFs are set to trade on major exchanges such as NYSE Arca, Nasdaq, and Cboe BZX Exchange adds further legitimacy to the crypto market. It opens up opportunities for a broader investor base to participate in the crypto space through familiar and established trading platforms. Investors are now closely monitoring the developments surrounding Ethereum ETF applications."

Market Outlook Today By Aditya Gaggar, Director of Progressive Shares
A late surge in heavyweight counters delivered support to the Index to settle the day at 21,618.70. By retesting its dual support of 21,470 as well as 21DMA, the Index has formed a piercing candlestick pattern which is bullish and indicates a resumption of the current uptrend. A zone of 21,430-21,470 will act as a strong support while the immediate resistance comes at 21,725-21,750. From the Auto sector, we prefer Hero Motocorp (set to trade in uncharted territory) and Tata Motors (Ascending Triangle Breakout). Rather than focusing on just Auto stocks, one should keep an eye on ancillary stocks as well. Consolidation of almost 2 years in energy giant Reliance comes to an end with a Cup and Handle Formation breakout. Going forward, we expect that the stock will lead the sector as well as the Index rally. Couple of Metal stocks are pointing towards the reversal of the trend with a hidden bullish divergence in RSI, one should keep an eye on the sector. Need to relook at the Power generation stocks, our preferred bets are NLC India (Hidden Bullish Divergence with 21DMA support) and PTC India (On the verge of a breakout). Civil construction stock ITD Cementation has given a breakout from the bullish Flag and Pole formation with considerable volumes. Post the confirmation, one can buy the stock for the medium-term target of Rs380.
