Will the bears be able to drag Nifty 50 below September low and consolidate there next week?
Due to the geopolitical tensions in the Middle East, Nifty has experienced a sharp correction of 4.45 percent over the past week, closing at the psychological level of 25,000. On the weekly chart, a sizeable bearish candle has formed, indicating sustained selling pressure. From its all-time high, the index has dropped by over 1,250 points, reflecting the impact of external factors on market sentiment.
With this decline, Nifty has slipped below its 50-day EMA (Exponential Moving Average) for the first time in 84 trading sessions. Both the 20-day (25,504) and 50-day EMA (25,065) are starting to turn lower, indicating further weakness. Additionally, the upward slope of the 100-day and 200-day EMA has slowed considerably, suggesting a loss of momentum. The daily RSI (Relative Strength Index) is also in a downtrend and is nearing the 40 level, signaling increased bearish sentiment and the potential for continued selling pressure.
These technical indicators point to the likelihood of further selling pressure in the upcoming trading sessions. Additionally, the volatility index, India VIX, has surged by over 18 percent in the past week, signaling heightened market uncertainty and increased risk in the near term.
Talking about Nifty levels, the zone of 24,800-24,750 will act as immediate support for the index as the 61.8 percent Fibonacci retracement level of its prior upward move (23,893-26,277) is placed in that region and it coincides with the prior swing low. If the index slips below the level of 24,750, then the 100-day EMA will act as crucial support for the index, which is currently placed at the 24,375 level.
Do you see a similar situation for the Bank Nifty, which is closer to the upward sloping support trendline now?
From the all-time high level, the banking benchmark index Bank Nifty has corrected nearly 3,000 points or 5.42 percent in just 6 trading sessions.

Further, the rising slope of 100 and 200-day EMA has slowed down significantly. Furthermore, the daily RSI has given trendline breakdown, which is a bearish sign.
Going ahead, the 100-day EMA zone of 51,000-50,900 will act as immediate support for the index. Any sustainable move below the level of 50,900 will lead to further correction in the index. In that case, the zone of 50,400-50,300 will act as a crucial support for the index. On the upside, the 50-day EMA will act as an immediate hurdle for the index, which is currently placed in the zone of 51,900-51,950 level.

Hence, we recommend to avoid the buying near the 200-day EMA level. The indicators can stay in the oversold region for a very long period. The oversold condition doesn’t mean we should buy the stock. We believe the reversal from oversold conditions should be confirmed by price action.
