By falling more than 1 percent on August 29, the Nifty has confirmed lower top and lower bottom on the daily chart. The benchmark closed below its 21 days EMA (exponential moving average) support placed at 17,391. In the week ended August 19, the Nifty formed bearish 'Shooting Star' candlestick pattern on the weekly charts, which was the first sign of correction in the index.
At present, the index is in continuation of a short-term downtrend and the correction could extend towards the next support of 16,900, which happens to be 38.2 percent retracement of the entire rise seen from 15,183 to 17,992.
Indicators and oscillators like RSI (relative strength index), MACD (moving average convergence and divergence) and DMI (directional movement index) have turned bearish on the Nifty daily Chart, which confirms the short-term down trend for the benchmark index.
However, breadth of the market does not seem to be under pressure at all. The Smallcap Index has not violated its 21-day EMA, rather it closed near the day’s high on August 29. The Nifty Midcap and Smallcap indices have formed a bullish Marubozu candlestick pattern on the daily chart, which indicates that there is so much buying interest in the underlying that the market participants were willing to buy the stock at every price point during the day.
Considering the evidences discussed above, we believe that the markets will remain stock-specific with participation of small-cap and mid-cap stocks. However, the benchmark index would remain in a short-term correction mode where the next support is seen at 16,900. Resistance for the Nifty is seen at 17,500 and 17,725.
