The market continued its southward journey for the seventh consecutive session and closed at a two-month low on September 29, the expiry day for September futures & options contracts, tracking a negative trend in global peers.
The BSE Sensex declined 188 points to 56,410, while the Nifty50 fell 40 points to 16,818 and formed a bearish candle on the daily charts.
"On the daily timeframe, the Nifty closed below its 200 days SMA (16,990) consecutively for the second day with the formation of the lower top lower bottom pattern. Also, the Bollinger Band is expanding and the prices running consistently on the lower edge of the band for the 4th day indicating volatility has increased on the downside," Vidnyan Sawant, AVP - Technical Research at GEPL Capital said.
The momentum indicator RSI (relative strength index) is moving downwards and sustaining below 35 levels, indicating strong bearish momentum of the index for the short to medium term.
As per the overall chart pattern and indicator set-up, the market expert feels that the Nifty will continue its corrective move and if it breaches below 16,788 levels, then it will move down towards 16,653 in the coming future. "Our corrective view would be negated if we see prices sustaining above the level of 17,196 levels," the expert added.
