After a significant correction on January 17, experts expect the Nifty 50 to fall further in coming days and may take support at around 21,450, the low of current month. If the said level gets broken then 21,000 can be a possibility, whereas on the higher side, 21,650 is expected to be an immediate resistance, followed by 21,750-21,850 area, experts said. Bears were in full action on January 17, pulling down the benchmark indices by more than 2 percent, the biggest single day decline in last 19 months.
