    The Nifty started on a positive note on Tuesday but came under selling pressure in mid-morning trade and closed below its crucial support levels of 10,000 and 9980 making a solid bearish candle on the daily candlestick charts. This led to breakdown on the charts which signifies that bears kept the selling pressure throughout the trading session.

    The index closed below its crucial support levels of 10,000. However, it bounced back from its 20-DEMA placed at 9,970. The Index opened at 10,068.35 and rose marginally to an intraday high of 10,083.80 but then bears intensified selling pressure which pushed the index towards 9,947. The index closed at 9978.55 down 78 points or 0.78 percent.

    According to Technical Analyst Prakash Gaba of prakashgaba.com, if Nifty slides then 9897 is not ruled out. The first sign of strength would be a close above the 10000 mark.
