Here are the factors that are likely to be affected: 

World Markets
World markets are trying to adjust with expectations of a sharp rise in interest rates in the US after record inflation but the elevating geopolitical tension is trying to make things worsen. US markets witnessed sharp selling pressure in late trade of Friday's trading session after some news on the Russia-Ukraine standoff. This tension also led to a sharp rise in crude oil prices which is not good for emerging markets like India.

Domestic front
On the domestic front,  we will have our inflation data while the tail-end of earning session will have an impact on some individual stocks.  On the political front, developments in the upcoming assembly polls Uttar Pradesh, Uttarakhand, Goa, Punjab, and Manipur will be closely watched.

LIC IPO
LIC IPO is a key talking point among market participants as it is going to be the biggest IPO in Indian market history. It is expected to hit the market soon that may bring at least 1 crore new Demat accounts and that could be a big positive for the dynamics of the Indian market because if 10 per cent of these investors become active then it will increase participation of retail investors. Also, it will also help the government to generate revenue through STT. Apart from positive aspects, there could be some negative impact on the secondary market as it may suck out the liquidity from the secondary market.

Behaviour of FIIs
The behavior of FIIs will also be an important factor because they are selling relentlessly however there was a minor buying figure on Friday due to some block deals. The interesting thing about the current market is that there is intense volatility but there was no movement anywhere since October despite more than 1.5 lac crore selling by FIIs. The long exposure of FIIs in index future jumped to 48 per cent and the put-call ratio is sitting at 1.09 level, both are neutral for the market. 

Nifty
Technically, Nifty is facing resistance at 100-DMA which is currently placed at 17650 level. On the downside, 17300 is immediate support below this, 17000-16800 is a critical demand zone and the buy-on dip texture will remain intact till Nifty trades above 16800 that is 200-DMA.

Banknifty has a comparatively strong chart structure however it is facing resistance in the 39000-39500 zone; above this, we can expect a fresh rally towards 40200/41000 levels. On the downside, 20-DMA of 38200 and 100-DMA of 37800 are immediate support levels while 37000-36500 is a critical demand zone.
