After the short term bounce in the last week, the Nifty had reached the junction of its daily upper Bollinger Band, upper end of a falling channel on the daily chart as well as upper end of a rising channel on the hourly chart. Thereon it stepped into a brief consolidation mode. 

In terms of the Fibonacci retracement, the index attempted to stretch beyond the 61.8% of the June fall however couldn’t sustain in the higher territory. 

The tight consolidation range has been 16000-16275. The index is now approaching towards the lower end of the consolidation range i.e. 16000, which needs to be monitored closely on a closing basis. Breach of 16000 on a closing basis will drag the index into a short term correction mode

Markets traded under pressure and lost nearly a percent, in continuation to the prevailing consolidation phase. After the weak start, the benchmark drifted further lower and settled around the day’s low. Consequently, the Nifty index settled at 16,058.30; down by 1%. 
The profit taking was widespread and mostly sectoral indices ended lower. The broader indices also lost nearly half a percent each.

Markets would react to the inflation data of India and the US in early trades. Besides, the earnings announcement from some of the IT majors would also be in focus. We recommend maintaining a focus on identifying stock-specific opportunities with a bias on the positive side.

Rupak De, Senior Technical Analyst at LKP Securities:

Nifty has slipped below the previous session’s low as bears remained at the helm. It has formed a small-bodied candle just below an important moving average, indicating a bearish day of mild significance. 

On the lower end, however, 16000 is likely to act as crucial support. On the higher end, resistance is visible at 16200, where meaningful call writing has happened.

Vinod Nair, Head of Research at Geojit Financial Services:

Rate hike fears are back in focus in the global markets ahead of the release of CPI numbers. Inflationary pressures along with strong US jobs data would keep the Fed on the path of aggressive rate hikes. 

On the domestic inflation front, retail inflation for the month of June is expected to be at 7.03%, maintaining the previous month’s levels. Demand concerns amid the rebound of virus cases in China compelled crude to trade lower.

Kunal Shah, Senior Technical Analyst at LKP Securities:

The Bank Nifty index formed an inside bar candle on the daily chart which indicates the market is stuck between the range of 35,000-35,600. The undertone remains bullish as long as the mentioned support of 35,000 is held on a closing basis. 

The upside resistance if taken out will see a quick move towards the level of 36000 where the highest open interest is built up on the call side.
