“Nifty is expected to open negative with a gap down of 110 points at 17300. Nifty has strong support in 17200-17250 range from where we can see a pull back to 17500 levels. Traders are suggested to use every pull back to exit long positions and not to initiate any new long positions till we see a bullish confirmation on Nifty,” said Gaurav Udani, CEO & Founder, ThincRedBlu Securities.

Sensex and Nifty are in the firm grip of bears after having fallen nearly 3.8% each since the middle of November. SGX Nifty was hinting at a continuation of weakness today. Chartists too believe there is more weakness ahead and advise against long bets. “The overall chart pattern as per smaller and larger timeframe is weak and more weakness could be in store in the near term. Having declined sharply from the highs, the minor pullback rally from the lows can’t be ruled out in the short term, before showing another round of weakness in the market,” said Nagaraj Shetti, Technical Research  Analyst, HDFC Securities. “Further lower levels to be watched at 17000-16800 in the next few weeks,” he added.

The index crept lower and it even breached the recent swing low to form a ‘Lower Top Lower Bottom’ on the daily charts after many months. This of course does not bode well for the short term which led to this sharp sell-off yesterday. However, if we look at the weekly charts, it is observed that in this uptrend since June 2020, Nifty has always managed to find support around its 20 weeks EMA in corrective phases and has resumed the uptrend. This average is now placed around 17200 and it would be interesting to see whether the index repeats the history or not. As of now, considering this support range of 17200-17250, we advise covering shorts positions in this range and looking for further signals. On the higher side, 17550 followed by 17700 would now be seen as immediate resistances.

SGX Nifty was down 74 points on Tuesday morning, hinting at a weak start to the day’s trade. 

‘Overall market is likely to continue with its consolidation as valuations are rich while the global cues are keeping markets volatile – inflation concerns have dominated headlines and the Fed is starting the tapering programme soon. Investors would also be eyeing the Covid situation in Europe and its impact on the economic activities. Thus, in the near term, market may remain under pressure until fresh positive triggers appears and stock specific action is likely to continue. Markets will take direction from macro data that is expected to be released during the week. The U.S. and the euro zone will release manufacturing and service data on Tuesday. Further data from the U.S., including the Fed minutes from its latest meeting, GDP and initial jobless claims, will be released on Wednesday ahead of Thursday’s Thanksgiving holiday,’ said Siddhartha Khemka, Head – Retail Research, Motilal Oswal Financial Services.
