Clever Perspective: Manish Hathiramani, Owner Index Trader and Technical Analyst, Deen Dayal Investments

The Nifty has taken support at the 17300 levels. The near term direction is still unclear; we need to stay above 17600 on a closing basis in order to resume the current uptrend. On the other hand, if we break 17300 on a close basis, we will attempt a further slide towards 17100-17150. It’s a wait and look at the situation. “

Smart View: Sameet Chavan, Chief Analyst – Techniques and Derivatives, Angel Broking:

In the last two sessions, Nifty corrected almost 450 points and as a result it was a bit oversold. Importantly, it hit its key support area of ​​17350-17250 which coincided with the ’89 -EMA ‘on the hourly chart. Therefore, with the sharp rebound in global markets, this was the right time from which the market can see some recovery. But we have to accept the fact that, while the recovery was evident, it has far exceeded our projected levels of 17,500. Nonetheless, we still think it is only a rebound and we are not yet completely. out of the woods.

For the coming session 17600-17650 should be seen as immediate hurdles while weakness will pick up once we start staying below 17450.

We advise traders not to get carried away by this rebound and to continue to remain cautious. In order to regain confidence, a few more days of strength is quite crucial for the market. In addition, all eyes are on the global market, because the next course of action has yet to be dictated by them alone.
