Indian markets ended on a weak note tracking sharp volatility in US stock futures and caution ahead of the quarterly earnings of index giant Reliance Industries. Nifty has formed spinning bottom formation on a daily basis, which is an indication of the indecisive trend. The benchmark index has managed to hold the level of 50 days Exponential Moving Average, which was at 11530. In the coming week, we could see stock-specific activity till the market doesn't cross the trading range of 11750 and 11530 on either side.
The markets broke yesterday's low of 11600 and this makes the Nifty bearish in the short term. Ideally it should fall further and touch 11400-11450 levels. The upside is capped at 11900-11950 so traders can consider a closing above those levels as a stop loss and initiate short positions for a target of 11400.
