The market continued to be in the consolidation phase witnessing broad-based selling, taking cues from the Fed policy and mixed global markets. US bond yields have cooled off from its high as global markets seem to have digested the latest Fed comments. China’s plan to sell metal reserves to check recent price hikes has pulled down the sector’s sentiments. The market is likely to continue in the consolidation phase for a short while, which can be an opportunity for investors to buy on dips.

Nifty briefly broke the 20-day moving average of 15596 today, but has recovered off lows. The index has not closed below the 20-DMA for well over a month. Hence, this is the immediate support to watch out for. Closing below the 20-DMA could lead to a short-term correction towards 15200-15100 in the days ahead.
