The market snapped a three-day winning streak and fell sharply amid selling pressure across sectors on November 25, especially after hitting a fresh record high intraday, ahead of the expiry of November futures and options contracts on November 26.
The BSE Sensex plunged 694.92 points or 1.56 percent to 43,828.10, while the Nifty50 declined 196.80 points or 1.51 percent to 12,858.40 and formed a Long Black Day or Bearish Engulfing kind of pattern on the daily charts.
"A long negative candle was formed from the new highs and that has engulfed the high low range of previous two sessions. This pattern could be considered as a Bearish Engulfing pattern. Hence, this market action could indicate a reversal type formation at the highs and this needs to be confirmed with more weakness," Nagaraj Shetti, Technical Research Analyst at HDFC Securities, told Moneycontrol.
"A sharp follow-through weakness is going to be crucial to confirm short term top formation in the market. The Nifty sustaining at the immediate support at 12,800 levels in the next 1-2 sessions could open chances of upside bounce in the market and also more upside in the near term," he said.
