Nifty (-49, 10744): Nifty unable to capitalize on positive global cues plus positive macro economic factors like wholesale prices in India which have eased to 2.76% in January, as compared to 3.80% in December.
Broader markets are also seen waiting for direction, yet again. Support for Nifty seen at 10675-10701. Makes sense to stay light on buy side for one more trading session.
Bullish looking BTST stocks: BEML, SRF, BATA, NCC, ICICI BANK

It’s high time that Dalal Street’s stock-market investors too start cheering to Trump’s softened tone on tariffs.
Well, this week, Chinese stocks have rebounded after hitting multiyear lows. At the time of writing, Europe had opened in green and Dow Jones futures were seen heading higher, after President Donald Trump said he may let a China trade-deal deadline slide if the two sides were making enough progress.
Technically, the biggest near term support on Nifty is at 10675 mark.

(Nifty 10747, Down 46 points): Nifty seen trading well below the dotted lines as also hurting this session is an exhausted Asia where indices are simply treading water despite Chinese trade data showing exports rose more than 9% in January – easing worries that the world’s no. 2 economy was slowing.
That said, we suspect Nifty could make a panic bottom near the 10675-10701 zone on hopes that both U.S-China will make headway on big issues like Beijing’s technology policy.
Well, it’s nice to see both nations trying to reach a deal before March 1. That’s when additional tariffs will kick in, escalating the conflict and further hurting companies and consumers with higher prices on materials and products.
The latest round of trade negotiations between the US and China began Monday with working-level talks in Beijing, while Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin and US Trade Representative Robert Lighthizer are reportedly due to arrive Thursday for more high-level discussions.

Our call of the day says money making ideas on the buy side are difficult to find as negativity seen creeping into our stock markets. The sentimental landscape has deteriorated at Dalal Street. From peak to valley in a span of just 4 trading sessions. The bears are now seen simply seen claiming final victory.
Many a momentum stocks are still on corrective mode, hence bulls are likely to be dateless this valentine with true stocks on the buy side. Downside risk on Nifty now at 10675-10681 zone. Bulls could probably aim regroup at lower levels near Nifty 10675 mark.
Volatility likely to be hallmark of today’s trade. Technically speaking, ‘Cash will be king — until Nifty is unable to move above its crucial hurdles at 10951 mark’.
Our chart of the day suggests Bata could be a valentine stock, but on any corrective declines. But having said that, there are some momentum stocks on the sell side which traders can look to sell as we believe an incredible romantic day on cards for bears. Prominent stocks looking weak are ACC, PNB, and TVS MOTORS.
