The Nifty50 closed above its crucial 200-days exponential moving average (DEMA) and 200-days moving average (DMA) on Tuesday ahead of March expiry.

The recent move was largely led by short coverings which pushed the index back above 10,000 levels. The Nifty futures rollover suggest long positions are rolling forward which is a positive sign.

In recent short covering, call writers were once again seen active, as selling in 10,200 and 10,250 call strikes was observed which indicates that expiry might end up below 10,200 levels.

However, put writers are still holding sell positions in 10,100 and 10,000 put strikes which indicate expiry in the range of 10100 to 10,200 levels.
