Technical Overview – Nifty 50

It was again a volatile day for the Nifty50 where prices traded within its previous week’s range and continued to hover near breakout levels on the daily chart. The index formed a bullish candle on the daily chart but was not able to surpass its consolidation range.

Technically the Index is hovering near the breakout levels on the daily chart and the volatility factor is getting impacted. Overall, the index is trading above its 9, 21, and 50 EMA on the daily chart, adding a safety cushion for the prices. The momentum oscillator RSI (14) is hovering near 60 levels suggesting a bullish to sideways stand.

On the contrary, the line in the sand is at Nifty’s make-or-break support at the 21,900 mark. We suspect that the bull case is still intact and believe that bulls will regroup at a corrective decline.
