The Nifty 50 underwent a sharp correction during the day amid a strong sell-off on February 28. The index dropped below the 22,000 mark, indicating a growing weakness. It, however, managed to close just above the 21-day EMA (exponential moving average) of 21,948 on the daily timeframe.
Observing the daily chart, the index has been navigating within a rising channel. A decline below 21,950 could potentially trigger a correction towards 21,800 in the near term. Conversely, a sustained trade above 21,950 might spur a recovery in the index towards 22,100.
Bears pulled Bank Nifty below 46,000 as the bulls were unable to shield the index from dropping below 46,500. Wednesday's selling pressure has pushed the index below the crucial short-term moving average as well.
The sentiment appears negative, with the index potentially moving towards 45,700/45,300 in the near term. Resistance is likely at 46,100.
