Negative chart patterns like lower tops and bottoms continued on the daily chart, and the Nifty is expected to revisit the recent swing lows of 17775 levels in the short term. Any upside bounce from here could encounter resistance around 18100 levels.
Rupak De, Senior Technical Analyst at
Volatility may continue over the short term with a predominant weakness. On the lower end, support is visible at 17800. On the higher end, resistance is visible at 18250, above which, a bullish reversal may happen.
Rohan Patil, Technical Analyst, SAMCO Securities
Nifty formed a Falling three-candlestick pattern, immediately followed by another bearish candlestick pattern termed ‘dark cloud cover’. It suggests the bears are in control.
Presently the immediate support for the Nifty is placed at 17,900 levels. However, if prices break below this level, then 17,800 – 17,750 will be the fast-forward target for the index. The upper band is capped below 18,200 levels where 21 EMA is placed.
Gaurav Ratnaparkhi, Head of Technical Research, Sharekhan by
The weekly chart shows that the index is getting support near the 20 WMA. Also, the index has support from multiple technical parameters, which are near 17800. Thus, the overall structure shows continued consolidation near 17800-18300.
