The market snapped the five-day winning streak and closed lower on Tuesday, dented by profit booking as well as correction in global peers. Select banking and financials, auto and metals stocks pulled the market down.
The 30-share BSE Sensex was down 134.32 points at 36,444.64 while the Nifty50 fell 39.10 points to 10,922.80 and formed 'Hanging Man' kind of pattern on the daily candlestick chart (after rising more than 200 points in the previous five consecutive sessions).
"The short term trend of Nifty continues to be choppy. Unless we see an evidence of strength in the upside momentum of Nifty/broader indices, we are unlikely to see any upside breakout in the market," Nagaraj Shetti, Technical Research Analyst at HDFC Securities told Moneycontrol.
According to Pivot charts, the key support level is placed at 10,874.73, followed by 10,826.67. If the index starts moving upward, key resistance levels to watch out are 10,960.33 and then 10,997.87.
The Nifty Bank index closed at 27,482.2, down 51.35 points on January 22. The important Pivot level, which will act as crucial support for the index, is placed at 27,400.64, followed by 27,319.07. On the upside, key resistance levels are placed at 27,548.54, followed by 27,614.87.
