The 50-share NSE Nifty which started with a big gap on the downside on Monday managed to recoup some losses but closed with a loss of nearly 100 points from Friday’s close, forming a bullish candle on an intraday basis as the closing level was higher than the opening level.
The index witnessed a strong recovery in the trading session but the sentiment still remained bearish. The Nifty has strong support near 10,600-10,500 levels.
The Nifty50 which opened at 10,604 slipped to an intraday low of 10,586. It closed below its crucial 50-day exponential moving average (DEMA). Hence, a pullback could be on cards as 50-DEMA has usually lent a strong support to the index in the past.
The index bounced back after falling below 10,600 to hit an intraday high of 10,702 before closing 94 points lower at 10,666 levels. The index is likely to remain choppy or consolidate further ahead of the Reserve Bank of India’s 2-days policy meet.
“Huge gap-down opening was bought into by the market participants as Nifty50 recouped almost 100 points from intraday low of 10,586 which resulted in bullish candle on intraday basis but still remained a bearish formation as it closed in negative terrain when compared to last session’s close,” Mazhar Mohammad, Chief Strategist – Technical Research & Trading Advisory, Chartviewindia.in told Moneycontrol.
“Monday’s gap down area of 10,702–10,736 shall offer resistance for next couple of days and a close above 10,736 shall be considered as an initial sign of strength for short term,” he said.
Mohammad further added that as the market is heading into RBI event it may remain choppy for the next two sessions post which major directional clues shall emerge for this market which as of now are on the downside. “Short term support is available around 10,550 whereas critical support is placed at 10,394,” he said.
