What to factors to look for on Wednesday?

FII data: The FIIs sold equities worth ₹1,983 crore on Monday after buying ₹672 crore on Friday last week. Amid positive global sentiment and beaten-down equity markets, whether FIIs resume their consistent buying needs to be closely monitored. Additionally, FIIs hold 78% position on the short side, indicating that a positive sentiment could lead to a short-covering rally in the near term.
Crude oil: The crude oil prices witnessed wild swings in the last few trading sessions. The Brent crude oil prices are back below $100 per barrel as de-escalation reports cooled off the pressure on oil prices.

NIFTY50

The NIFTY50 index closed 200 points lower on Monday, recouping major losses of the intraday. As highlighted, the daily 20 EMA level of 23,500 stood as a crucial support for the index. The upside looks protected at 24,200 levels as the index failed to close above it for two consecutive sessions last week. The momentum remains bullish with a strong upside trend on the short-term hourly charts.
