Technical View
Commenting on the Technical outlook of Jatin Gedia, technical research analyst at Sharekhan by BNP Paribas, said that the Nifty opened gap up and continued to inch higher throughout the day to close in the green up ~385 points. On the daily charts we can observe that the Nifty has breached the previous swing high of 21750 and hence violates the downtrend as the lower top lower bottom formation has been violated. During the fall the Nifty held on to the support of the 40 day average placed around 21200 which shall now act as a lower boundary during the consolidation phase. On the upside, the Index can continue its pullback towards 21913 which coincides with the 78.6% fibonacci retracement level of the fall from 22124 – 21137 and also the gap formed on the 17th January, 2024 in the range 21850 – 22000 shall act as an immediate hurdle going ahead. The daily momentum indicator has a negative crossover however it has reached the equilibrium line and also prices are not showing weakness which can lead to a range bound action over the next few trading sessions. Considering the above parameters we shall change our outlook on the Nifty to sideways and the broad range of consolidation is likely to be 21200 – 22000.
