Nifty has broken down after making a Head and Shoulder reversal pattern above 11,550 and have almost reached the pattern target of 11,240. In the process Nifty has closed below its short term moving average 20-DMA placed around 11,612 and 50-DMA trading at 11,425 that shows bearish sentiment in the short term. Also, Nifty formed a long body bearish candlestick pattern, suggesting a continuation of the down move.
On the contrary, Nifty is trading above its two major simple moving averages 100-DMA and 200-DMA that are rising and placed around 11,100. Also, the occurrence of crossover formation has happened recently.
Nifty is trading in a negative note continuously from the last eight trading sessions; the majority of the momentum oscillators are in the oversold zone, the possibility of a bounce back cannot be ruled out. Moreover, the index has closed near to monthly pivot point, placed around 11,270 and 50 percent retracement of last upswing (10,600-11,860) is also around 11,235 suggesting strong support lies in the 11,235-11,270. This zone of support also gets strength from rising trend line around 11,270.
Market momentum still favours a down move but now Nifty has entered into the strong technical support zone. Global volatility and elections-related uncertainties are key events to watch out for.
Any decisive move below the support zone will push prices lower towards the line of parity placed around 11,111 and further to 11,000 where maximum open interest in Put exists.
