While Midcap & Smallcap index outperformed gained 3% and 3.9% respectively, which is a positive sign for continuation of rally.

Positive global cues helped the market gain momentum after consolidation seen in the previous week, signing of second stimulus package by the US, the approval for Brexit deal by the European Union & UK and the development related to rollout of COVID-19 vaccine lifted sentiment. The momentum is expected to continue in the coming week, and consistent FII inflow will fuel into market. India continued to see strong FIIs inflow in December at Rs 53,499.66 crore taking the total inflow to over Rs 1.66 lakh crore in 2020 the year gone by, same to continue in coming year too Indian markets as global investors continued betting on emerging markets but corporate earnings will be closely watched.

Technical View:
Technical indicators indicate a continuation of up trended move as per long term chart but trader needs to focus on stock-specific action. If Nifty sustains 14,000 levels then we may see rally towards 14,200 and 14,400. The maximum Put open interest shifted to 14,000 strike and is also likely to act as a major support in the coming week. Maximum call open interest at 14,000 followed by 14,200 and maximum put open interest at 14,000 followed by 13,900. Nifty could trade in the range between 13,900-14,400. Move above 14,200 could show Nifty flash rally towards 14,400. The volatility index IndiaVIX is hovering below 20 levels and it is very much in the comfort zone.
