Trade setup for today: Top 14 things to know before the opening bell – Moneycontrol

The market returned to positive territory on June 20 with the BSE Sensex rising more than 200 points, backed by FMCG, IT stocks and HDFC twins. The rally in European counterparts also aided momentum at Dalal Street.

Experts call it a relief rally after the market entered into oversold levels, as the benchmark indices had fallen around 7 percent in the previous six consecutive sessions.

The BSE Sensex closed 237 points higher at 51,598, while the Nifty50 climbed 57 points to 15,350 and formed a Hammer or Doji kind of pattern on the daily charts.

“A small body of positive candle was formed on the daily chart with minor upper and long lower shadow. Technically, this formation indicates a Doji-type candle pattern, but not a classical one. But the formation of high wave and Doji patterns back to back in the two sessions around the lows of 15,200 levels signal chances of an upside bounce in the market,” Nagaraj Shetti, Technical Research Analyst at HDFC Securities said.

The short-term trend of the Nifty continues to be volatile with broader range movement. A decisive move above 15,500 levels could open an upside bounce in the market, and important support to be watched is around 15,200 levels, he said.

However, the mood in broader space was pathetic with the Nifty Midcap 100 and Smallcap 100 indices declining 2.3 percent and 3.2 percent respectively on weak breadth. Nearly six shares declined for every share rising on the NSE.
