    Gaurav Ratnaparkhi, Senior Technical Analyst, Sharekhan by BNP Paribas:

    On the daily chart, the index has formed a bearish Island formation. The pullback has got exhausted at the swing high of 9889 & the index has resumed the larger downtrend. Hence the index is now set for a significant decline with initial target area at 9050-9000. On the higher side, 9400-9430 will act as a resistance zone in case of any bounce.

    Deepak Jasani, Head Retail Research, HDFC Securities:

    Technically the Nifty has given a bearish signal by forming a bearish island reversal pattern after a rise. The next support to look forward to is at 9132, while the resistance is at 9392. The ultimate targets of the bearish pattern is at 8909.

    Ajit Mishra, VP - Research, Religare Broking Ltd.  

    The abrupt end of the recovery has certainly caught the participants completely off-guard and we might see the index drifting further lower ahead. With no major development on the local front, we feel the global cues would continue to dictate the market trend.

    However, any news on a stimulus package for the ailing sectors may provide a breather. Besides, the earnings announcement would continue to induce stock-specific volatility, so participants should plan their trades accordingly.

    S Ranganathan, Head of Research at LKP Securities:

    The market was pounded today with the lockdown extension even as Reliance announced an Rs 56 billion investment by Silver Lake into its JIO platform. Financials bore the brunt of the selling as almost all sectoral indices with the exception of Pharmaceuticals closing with losses.

    Vinod Nair, Head of Research at Geojit Financial Services:

    Globally, rising trade war tensions between US – China and domestically, dire economic news added to the negativity. The extension of the lockdown and the fear that the economy and businesses will take longer to get back on track, impacted the markets. Indian market will continue to be driven by global news flow and domestic earnings commentary.
