Stock Market LIVE: Sensex jumps 350 pts, Nifty up 100 pts; PSU Bank shines | Mint – Mint

Angel One on today’s market: One should avoid trading aggressively till the time market stabilizes from this turbulence.

Sameet Chavan, chief analyst-technical and derivatives, Angel One Ltd: Friday’s session turned out to be a nightmare as after a gap down opening, we witnessed sustained selling throughout the session to conclude the week with a 1.70% cut, marginally above 17500.

Generally, we say ‘All’s well that ends well but this time it’s the exact opposite. We had a perfect start to the week, but the end was certainly not what everyone would have wished for. The broader structure remains bullish but with Nifty closing convincingly below 17600 has dented the intermediate structure for sure. Pricewise, it resembles a ‘Head and Shoulder’ pattern on the daily time frame chart, which does not augur well for the bulls. If this pattern proves its significance, we may see a further correction towards 17200 – 17000 this week. But as of now, we do not want to fall into this camp. We would rather reassess the situation in the first half of this week. As far as support is concerned, 17400 we are seeing as key support. The moment we see the Nifty sliding below it, we may see a correction getting extended in the market. On the flip side, if Nifty has to find its mojo back, it needs to go beyond Friday’s high of 17820 on a closing basis. So meanwhile, any minor bounce back towards 17650 – 17750 should ideally be used to exit longs.

After Friday’s close, we would like to adopt a wait-and-watch approach, and let’s see how the global market performs from hereon. Traders are advised not to get intimidated by Friday’s correction, but rather keep a close tab on the above-mentioned scenarios. Also, one should avoid trading aggressively till the time market stabilizes from this turbulence. Sectorally, the recent leader, BANKNIFTY is placed at an interesting juncture. Hopefully, it manages to lift the overall sentiments this week

Ashika Stock Broking view on market: Avoid trading aggressively amid global nervousness.

Tirthankar Das, technical & derivative analyst, retail, Ashika Stock Broking Ltd: On the technical front, Nifty formed a long negative candle on the daily chart, resembling closer to a dark cloud cover which has a bearish implication and indicating of further weakness ahead. On the oscillator front, the 14-period RSI has witnessed a sell crossover and presently trading below the 60-level mark and turned flattish indicating of sluggish momentum for the short to medium term. Thus, one needs to avoid trading aggressively amid global nervousness. Considering the present situation, a bare minimum correction of 23.6% of the entire rally from 15,183 to 18,096 comes around 17415 followed by 38.2% correction at 16990. However, on the medium-term perspective price structure indicates of continuance of positive bias and our domestic Index is likely to head towards 18,300 in near term as it is the swing high of January 2022. Nifty also registered a bullish golden crossover in August (50-DEMA crossing above 200-DEMA) implying major shift of momentum from a medium-term perspective. During the day index is likely to open on a flat to negative note tracking weak global cues. However, the index is expected to rebound post initial blip as strong intraday support placed at 17400-17450. Hence, use intraday dip for creating long position for the target of 17865-17900
