Contrary to expectations, NSE’s Nifty50 index made a strong comeback on Tuesday and formed a robust bullish candle even as it erased all the losses of the previous session.
The 50-share Nifty pack closed 79.35 points, or 0.70 per cent, higher for the day at 11,435.
The index opened the day at 11,381 and touched an intraday high and low of 11,452 and 11,370, respectively.
After Tuesday’s session, the daily MACD reported a negative crossover and now trades below its signal line.
No other significant formation was observed on the candles.
“On the face of it price chart is suggesting bullishness, but technical oscillators on lower time frame charts are still on sell mode with the daily MACD triggering a fresh sell signal in Tuesday’s session, which is a cause for concern,” said Mazhar Mohammad, Chief Strategist – Technical Research and Trading Advisory, Chartviewindia.in.
MACD is moving average convergence divergence and is used to capture trend reversal in the market.
