What should traders do? Here’s what analysts said:
Rupak De, Senior Technical Analyst at
The daily RSI is in a bullish crossover. Over the short term, the index may remain within a band. On the lower end, 17000 may act as support, whereas 17,300 may act as resistance on the higher end.
Ajit Mishra, VP – Research, Broking
We feel it’s just a respite in a corrective phase, and the tone would remain negative until Nifty decisively reclaims 17,400 levels. Amid all this, the buoyancy in the banking space is capping the damage so far, while others are seeing a mixed trend. We feel it’s prudent to stay light in the prevailing scenario and keep the existing positions hedged.
Nagaraj Shetti, Technical Research Analyst, Securities
The short-term trend for Nifty is range bound with positive bias. The market is now attempting to form a short-term higher bottom formation around 16,950 levels. A sustainable move above the hurdle of 17,260 levels could confirm more upside for the near term. Immediate support at 16,950 levels.
Shrikant Chouhan, Head of Equity Research (Retail), Kotak Securities
The recovery doesn’t seem sustainable as multiple negative factors are at play. Technically, the Nifty took support near the 200-day SMA (Simple Moving Average) and bounced back sharply. As long as the index is above the 17,000 mark, the pullback formation is likely to continue. Above the same, the index may touch the level of 17225-17275. On the flip side, below 17,000, the index could slip till 16,900.
