The recovery in last hour of trade helped the market curtail losses and closed with moderate losses on July 28, the first day of August series, continuing the downtrend for the second straight session after taking support around 19,600-19,500 levels on the Nifty50. One should be worried till the Nifty holds these levels in the coming sessions, experts said.
The index fell 14 points to close at 19,646, which is still above previous day's low, and formed a Doji kind of candlestick pattern on the daily charts, which is an indecisive pattern, while the BSE Sensex shed over 100 points to 66,160.
The selling pressure in Bank Nifty and Nifty IT weighed down the market. The Bank Nifty corrected over 200 points to 45,468, and the Nifty IT dropped more than 250 points to 29,490.
However, the broader markets performed better than the benchmark and sectoral indices as breadth tilted in favour of bulls. The Nifty Midcap 100 index was up over half a percent and the Smallcap 100 index gained 0.2 percent.
Stocks that outperformed the broader market included Prestige Estates Projects, Tata Power, and Tata Chemicals. Prestige Estates Projects shares climbed more than 8 percent to Rs 590 and formed a robust bullish candlestick pattern on the daily charts with strong volumes, after taking good support at 50-day EMA (exponential moving average - Rs 545).
Tata Power Company has also seen nice consolidation breakout by taking support at 50-day EMA (Rs 219). We have also seen a downward sloping resistance trendline breakout adjoining highs of November 9 last year and July 7 this year, and the stock has formed a robust bullish candlestick pattern on the daily scale with multi-fold jump in trading volumes over previous day. The stock jumped 6 percent to Rs 234.65.
Tata Chemicals has seen nearly eight-month closing high of Rs 1,051, up nearly 6 percent and formed strong bullish candlestick pattern on the daily timeframe with robust volumes after several months of consolidation breakout. Also, it has closed above all key moving averages.
