Just 4 more trading days left for the February expiry series to come to an end. So far this expiry is brutal to the small cap and midcap investors. Lots of dumb longs got flushed out of the system and some more still pending to get flushed out. Media Channels are fear mongering on banking scams. If your mind is biased it is better to cleanse with top down approach.

Last week global market mood has been changed from complete bearishness to bullish mode as US , European Markets and Asian Markets went into recovery mode except the Indian Markets due to prevailing local issues(RBI framework on stressed assets, PNBScam). And also Nifty trades below the current expiry support 10500. Price holding below 10500 might attract further selling pressure in the short term.
