Nifty recovered more than 200 points from the low to end the day with gains of 28 points to 17,054. Short-term trend in the Nifty remains weak as it makes a lower top lower bottom formation on the daily chart. The Nifty is also trading below its all-important short-term moving averages.
In the derivatives, we have seen aggressive Call writing at 17,000-17,300 levels. Moreover, falling 5-day EMA (exponential moving average) is currently placed at 17,295 levels. Therefore, unless the Nifty closes above 17,000 level, the short-term trend will remain bearish.
The Nifty made an intraday low of 16,782 and bounced back. This level coincides with the previous top resistance of 16,700 which will interchange its role as a support. Therefore, we believe that on the lower side, 16,700-16,800 level will act as an immediate support.
To sum it up, we believe that, the short-term trend of the Nifty is weak. Therefore, our advice is to remain cautious till it closes above the 17,300 levels. On the lower side, we expect the Nifty to find an immediate support in the vicinity of 16,700-16,800.
The support for the Nifty is seen around 16,000 levels which is 23.6 percent retracement of the entire rally seen from the low of March 2020 to the all-time high of 18,604.
