Market Review and Outlook – Ruchit Jain, Head – Equity Technical Research, Wealth Management, Motilal Oswal Financial Services
Our markets have witnessed a pullback move in last couple of trading sessions as the Nifty 50 took support around the psychological support of 23,000 and the momentum readings were oversold. However, the overall data have not indicated any encouraging signs yet as the Brent Crude continues to trade above 100 dollar, Geopolitical situation continues to be uncertain and FIIs continue to sell equities in cash segment along with short positions of about 88% in the index futures.
Until we see any trend reversal signs, this upmove should just be seen as a pullback move where selling pressure could persist at higher levels and volatility will continue to remain high. Nifty 50’s immediate support is at 23,400 zones while resistance at 23,750 zones. Now it has to continue to hold above 23,500 for an up move towards 23,750 then 23,950 while support is placed in 23,400- 23,300 range followed by 23,000.
