Nifty Crash! फ़ायदा उठाया की नहीं? ETF Pulse – ETF Pulse

Summary

The host argues that the budget-day selloff created selective opportunities in ETF segments that were already near support, while warning that the broad market remains volatile. The main shock, in the host’s view, was the higher STT on futures and options from 0.02% to 0.05%, which makes derivatives trading more expensive without changing LTCG or STCG rates. That is presented as a direct hit to capital-market activity, especially market-linked ETFs.

Technically, the host says Nifty has broken below its 200-DMA and is now focused on a key support zone around 24,300–24,350. The argument is that support and resistance levels should guide decisions more than headlines, and that investors should wait for retests rather than chase breakouts. The host repeatedly emphasizes patience, discipline, and buying only near well-defined support.

Across sector ETFs, the host is relatively constructive on IT, infrastructure, Make in India, pharma, and some policy-linked areas, while noting that defense and PSU themes reacted to the budget and that capital-market ETFs were hit by the STT change. Railway-linked ETFs are also described as weak and trading around resistance/support structures rather than offering easy entries.

Key takeaways

  • The host says the budget increased STT on futures and options from 0.02% to 0.05%, making derivatives trading costlier.
  • Nifty has broken below its 200-DMA, and the host sees the next major support near 24,300–24,350.
  • The host says capital-market ETFs were pressured because higher STT hurts stock-market activity.
  • Defense and PSU-linked ETFs were affected by budget expectations, while the host says IT and some infrastructure themes held up better.
  • The host’s main tactic is to buy only near support and wait for retests instead of chasing breakouts.
