Trade setup for Thursday: Top 15 things to know before Opening Bell

The market fell four-tenth of a percent lower on June 8 after the Reserve Bank of India revised upwards its inflation projection for FY23 to 6.7 percent, from 5.7 percent earlier and hence raised the repo rate by 50 bps to 4.9 percent.

The BSE Sensex declined 215 points to 54,893, while the Nifty50 slipped 60 points to 16,356 and formed a bearish candle on the daily charts, continuing the downtrend for the fourth consecutive session, and adding more nervousness on the street.

"A reasonable negative candle was formed on the daily chart on Wednesday, which has placed beside the small negative candle of the previous session. This pattern indicates choppy movement in the market with negative bias," Nagaraj Shetti, Technical Research Analyst at HDFC Securities said.

He further said the current choppy movement could extend for another 1-2 sessions and the lows to be watched around 16,200 levels. However, strong overhead resistance is placed at 16,450-16,500 levels, the market experts added.

The correction was also seen in broader space as the market breadth was negative. The Nifty Midcap 100 and Smallcap 100 indices have fallen 0.5 percent and 0.3 percent respectively, as about three shares declined for every two rising shares on the NSE.
