Nifty halted after 4 days of sharp rise and formed a small positive candle on the daily chart with upper and lower shadows, indicating of minor correction or consolidation is in the making. On the oscillator front there is still no signs of exhaustion, or any reversal signal are being unfolded.

The psychological level of 17000 which further coincides with the 200dma would be the immediate short term trend deciding level for the market.

Rahul Bajoria, MD & Chief India Economist, Barclays:
Despite some moderation, July services PMI paints a picture of relative economic resilience, despite rising global headwinds. India’s services PMI (seasonally adjusted) fell to 55.5 in July, from 59.2 in June. The moderation in services activity pushes it slightly below the July manufacturing index, but on a consolidated basis, the composite PMI fell slightly to 56.6 in July, from 58.2 in June.
Looking at the details, while overall activity levels remained buoyant, some moderation was visible in sequential demand, even though price pressures eased slightly in July. We think that services activity will take a small breather. This is also evident in new business orders, which are slowing in sync with present activity, indicating moderation ahead. Within other areas, employment and services prices also are coming off, although not as sharply as activity itself.
Put together, the early data for July so far suggests that despite headwinds, economic activity remains resilient in India, and even though global headwinds are rising, domestic demand is likely to provide stability to India’s growth. Indeed, GST collections in July were strong and credit growth continues to improve, while other high frequency indicators are also holding up well.
