GIFT Nifty up 115 points; here's the trading setup for today's session

Here's breaking down the actions:

STATE OF THE MARKETS
(Earlier SGX Nifty) signals a muted start
GIFT Nifty on the NSE IX traded lower by 38 points, or 0.17 per cent, at 22,677, signaling that Dalal Street was headed for muted start on Friday.

• Tech View: The resistance zone is placed at 22,700-22,750, while support is at 22,600. A decisive move above 22,750 might induce a rally towards 23,000 in the short term. Since the market appears to be range-bound, buying on dips and selling on rallies might prove to be a good strategy with proper stop-loss measures.
• India VIX: India VIX, which is a measure of the fear in the markets, fell 2.1% to settle at 11.11 levels.

Oil prices rose in early trade on Friday on heightened tensions in the Middle East, where Iran has promised to retaliate for a suspected Israeli air strike on its embassy in Syria, which could risk disruptions to supply from the oil producing region.

Yen crumbles
The yen struggled to break away from a 34-year low on Friday and was headed for a weekly decline, while the dollar hovered near a five-month high alongside U.S. Treasury yields as traders heavily scaled back bets for a slew of U.S. rate cuts this year.
