Hot Stocks | Buy CreditAccess Grameen, Ramco Cements for short term play

During this week so far, Nifty has already lost almost 2 percent and is looking weak.

On the weekly chart, the benchmark index has formed bearish engulfing pattern, and to negate that formation, Nifty needs to rally almost 200 points in the coming two trading sessions.

The index, after a gap up opening, witnessed a sharp sell-off through the day and closed below 12,200-mark on January 22, which is below the 21-day exponential moving average.

Negative technical indicator and bearish market breadth signal the probability of a further decline in the index.

At the current juncture, Bank Nifty has given a breakout of a bearish classical Head & Shoulder pattern and the index is currently trading below its neckline on a daily scale.

Looking at the current momentum, Bank Nifty is likely to underperform the benchmark index.

At the lower end, Nifty will find major support around 11,950 and at 11,800 levels. However, on the higher side, the index will continue to face hurdles around 12,400 levels.
