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

The correction in technology stocks and weak global cues ahead of US inflation numbers weighed down the market on July 11 as the BSE Sensex corrected 87 points to close at 54,395. However, the benchmark index showed smart recovery of more than 300 points from day's low, thanks to buying in banking & financial services, auto, metal, pharma, and select FMCG stocks.

The Nifty50 fell 4.6 points to 16,216 and formed a bullish candle on the daily charts as the closing was higher than opening levels.

"A long bull candle was formed on the daily chart after opening lower. This pattern signals a consolidation in the market after a recent sharp upmove. This is positive indication and signal lack of selling participation in the market at the hurdle of 16,200-16,300 levels," Nagaraj Shetti, Technical Research Analyst at HDFC Securities said.

Shetti feels the short-term uptrend status of Nifty remains intact and the market is taking temporary halt before showing further upmove in the near term. Hence, the current range movement within 16,100-16,250 levels is likely to extend for the next session, and a sustainable move above 16,300 could be viewed as strengthening of upside momentum, the market expert said.

The Nifty Midcap 100 and Smallcap 100 indices performed better than benchmarks, rising nearly one percent each, while the volatility index India VIX declined further by 0.14 percent to 18.37 levels.

As per the pivot charts, the key support level for the Nifty is placed at 16,138, followed by 16,060. If the index moves up, the key resistance levels to watch out for are 16,271 and 16,326.

The important pivot level, which will act as crucial support for the index, is placed at 35,136, followed by 34,803. On the upside, key resistance levels are placed at 35,673 and 35,876 levels.
