Day trading guide for stock market today –
“The down trend continued in Nifty and the immediate supports have started to break one after another. The next downside levels to be watched around 18150-18050 in the short term. Immediate resistance is at 17450 levels,” said Nagaraj Shetti, Technical Research Analyst, HDFC Securities.
“The bears managed to drag the Nifty below the line of polarity, the 200-day moving average, on a closing basis. The sentiment looks very negative from here as the index sustains below the crucial long term average. A further decline towards 17150–17100 appears imminent, as bulls appear to be in no hurry to support Indian equities. On the higher end, immediate resistance is visible at 17400, above which the current trend may reverse,” said Rupak De, Senior Technical Analyst at LKP Securities.
