INSUBCONTINENT EXCLUSIVE:
The market opened on a subdued note on Tuesday and remained rangebound for the first half of the session
However, the last two hours of the trade were very disappointing, as the rupee fell to its fresh lifetime low, and it affected the domestic
market, which were grappling with negative global cues.
The NSE benchmark Nifty saw a sharp decline and went on to test its 50-DMA before
ending the day with a deep cut of 150.60 points or 1.32 per cent.
The damage was secular, and all the sectoral indices ended in the red
The Nifty has ended a notch above its 50-DMA, and we can expect this level to act as support on a closing basis
The index has lost over 300 points in the last two sessions
We can expect some support to come in at the c urrent levels.
A muted start to the trade cannot be ruled out on Wednesday
Even if there are minor downsides, the 50-DMA level, which stand at 11,274 level, should act as an interim support.
The levels of 11,325 and
11,390 are expected to act as technical resistance to Nifty, whereas 11,250 mark followed by 11,210 is expected to lend support.
The
Relative Strength Index (RSI) on the weekly chart is 40.2086
It is bearish, as it has marked its fresh 14-period low, but it shows no divergence against its price.
The daily MACD stays bearish trading
The pattern analysis shows that the market is classically reverting to its mean after it ran away too ahead of its curve
However, Tuesday’s decline was slightly overextended in nature.
Overall, as we approach the market on Wednesday ahead of the holiday on
Thursday, we recommend staying away from taking any directional call in the market.
Shorts should be avoided, as there is little tradable
gap on the downsides, and also because there are still significant number of shorts that exists in the system.
On the long side, there are
chances of participants turning cautious at higher levels in event of a pullback given a trading holiday in between.
We recommend avoiding
any kind of directional bets in the market until it is seen getting little stabilised
While preserving liquidity to protect existing trading positions, very cautious view is advised for the day.
