The Nifty50 corrected sharply for second consecutive session and broke the psychological 11,300-mark on Tuesday, forming bearish candle on the daily candlestick charts. Rising crude oil prices, weakening rupee and escalated trade war tensions between world's largest economies US and China caused selling pressure in the market.
All sectoral indices closed in the red with Nifty PSU Bank falling the most (down 5.44 percent) followed by Bank, Auto, Metal and Realty which lost between 1-3 percent. The broader markets also caught in bear trap with the Nifty Midcap index losing 1.4 percent.
The Nifty50 after opening flat tried to rebound and hit an intraday high of 11,411.45, but could not sustain for long and corrected further as the day progressed.
The index fell up to 11,268.95 intraday in late trade but managed to hold its crucial support of 11,250 levels.
It lost 98.90 points to close at 11,278.90. And also closed below its 50-DEMA which indicates that bears are holding the tight grip in the market, experts said.
According to Pivot charts, the key support level is placed at 11,228.1, followed by 11,177.3. If the index starts moving upwards, key resistance levels to watch out are 11,370.6 and 11,462.3.
The Nifty Bank index closed at 26,441.45, down 378.85 points on Tuesday. The important Pivot level, which will act as crucial support for the index, is placed at 26,265.5, followed by 26,089.6. On the upside, key resistance levels are placed at 26,759.2, followed by 27,077.
