The correction in global counterparts after hotter-than-expected US inflation data, weakening rupee and FII selling pressure dented market sentiment on June 13. All sectoral indices closed in red with Nifty Bank, Auto, Financial Services, IT, Metal, Realty and Oil & Gas indices declining 2-4 percent.
The BSE Sensex plummeted 1,457 points or 2.68 percent to 52,847, while the Nifty50 fell 427 points or 2.64 percent to 15,774 and formed a bearish candle on the daily charts.
"A long negative candle was formed on the daily chart at the lows with a long lower shadow. Technically, this pattern reflects an ongoing downtrend in the market and an attempt at a downside breakout of the support of around 16,700 levels. Formation of long lower shadow signals an emergence of minor buying interest from the lows," Nagaraj Shetti, Technical Research Analyst at HDFC Securities said, adding the Nifty is now placed at the edge of crucial support at 15,650-15,700 levels.
The short-term trend of the Nifty continues to be negative, the market expert feels.
Having reached crucial lower support of 15,700 levels and a formation of unfilled weekly opening downside gap, there is a possibility of an upside bounce from the lows of around 15,500-15,400 levels in the next 1-2 sessions, Shetti said.
The selling pressure was also seen in broader space as the Nifty Midcap 100 index declined 2.9 percent and Smallcap 100 index fell 3.9 percent. India VIX, which measures the expected volatility in the market, increased by 14.25 percent to 22.37 levels, which was a discomfort for bulls.
