Technical View

Commenting on the technical outlook of the NSE Nifty 50,Jatin Gedia – Technical Research Analyst at Sharekhan by BNP Paribas, said, “On the daily charts we can observe that the Nifty has been consolidating around the resistance zone of 19,450 – 19,500 where both the Bulls and Bears are trying to defend their respective boundaries. The hourly momentum indicator has a negative crossover which is a sell signal and can lead to more consolidation. On the way down the Nifty is trading above the key hourly moving averages 19,340 – 19,320 which shall act as an immediate support zone incase of a dip. On the upside a decisive close above 19,450 – 19,500 shall lead to an extension of the current rally till 19,690. During this consolidation phase, broad market outperformance can continue.”

Nevertheless, the prevailing trend appears to be bullish as the index closed above a critical short-term moving average. Support is established at 43,500 on the lower end. As long as the index maintains its position above 43,500, a ‘buy on dips’ strategy is considered appropriate. On the higher end, there is potential for the index to advance towards 44,200,” said Rupak De, Senior Technical analyst at LKP Securities.
