TRADE SETUP FOR APR 11
Nifty Short-Term Outlook:
Indian markets are expected to open gap up after a rebound in the global equity market on Wednesday as US President Donald Trump announced on April 9 a 90-day 'pause' on reciprocal tariffs for all except China.

Sustaining above the same will open upside towards 23,250 and 23,550 levels in the coming week being the high of last week.
In the process, volatility is expected to remain elevated amid Tariff related development, the upcoming India inflation print, and the onset of the Q4 earnings season. Index has key support around 21,700-22,000 levels, being the confluence of Monday’s panic low and 24 months EMA.
