The Nifty50 closed 1.7 percent lower for the week ended September 29, and for the month, it fell by 1.3 percent signalling a bearish bias. The Nifty made bearish candles in 4 out of 5 trading sessions last week.
The index broke below key support levels but managed to get some support around its 100-days exponential moving average (DEMA) placed at 9,716 which led to a bounce back above 9,750 levels.
Now, the bigger question is -- whether the short-term correction is over or still there is some pain left in the market?
The pain in the markets is far from over, suggest technical experts. For our markets to inch higher, it requires fresh triggers. The earnings for the quarter ended September are likely to remain subdued, which will further dent sentiment.
“It would be very difficult for our markets to maintain this optimism in the near term. Yes, larger degree Bull Run is certainly not over; but, the market needed some kind of breather and we are most probably would experience it in weeks to come,” Sameet Chavan, Chief Analyst- Technical and Derivatives, Angel Broking told Moneycontrol.
Technically speaking, the weekly chart looks distorted and the way ‘RSI-Smoothened’ has shaped up, is not an encouraging sign for our market.
“This week, somehow bulls managed to defend 9685; but, going ahead, we do not expect the same kind of strength to be infused in the market. Going ahead, 9,854 – 9,921 would be seen as a sturdy wall for the index,” said Chavan.
He further added that on the flipside, we may see index sliding below 9685 to test lower levels of 9,640 – 9,560 in days to come. Traders are advised to stay light and not to get carried away by such bounce backs.
