Uttaresh Venkateshwaran | Sandip Das Moneycontrol News
Bulls failed to regain control over D-Street as the Nifty slipped below the crucial moving averages such as 5-day exponential moving average (EMA), 20-EMA, 13-EMA in a single day and made a "Bearish Belt Hold" kind of pattern on daily charts on September 17.
A 'Bearish Belt Hold' pattern is formed when the opening price becomes the highest point of the trading day (intraday high) and the index declines throughout the trading day making up for the large body. The candle will either have a small or no upper shadow and a small lower shadow.
The index slipped below the crucial short-term moving average and the next support is now placed at 11,250 which was the swing low formed on September 12. On the other hand, for bulls to take control, Nifty has to reclaim the 11,520 level.
The Nifty opened at 11,464 and slipped below 11,400 to touch its intraday low of 11,366 before closing the day at 11,377, down 137 points.
"The Nifty resumed its downswing with a Bearish Belt Hold formation as weekend review of the economy appears to have failed to impress the market participants with rupee going back to square one," Mazhar Mohammad, Chief Strategist – Technical Research & Trading Advisory, Chartviewindia.in told Moneycontrol.
"Technically speaking, as Monday’s down move filled the bullish gap present in the zone of 11,430 to 11,380 levels, registered on last Friday, it can be expected to initially test the recent corrective swing low of 11250 levels," he said.
Mohammad added that in such a scenario an ideal downside target for the fresh leg of downswing appears to be placed between 11,100 – 11,000 kind of levels. For the time being, upsides shall remain capped around 11,520 levels.
