Nagaraj Shetti of HDFC securities said the overall weekly chart pattern is indicating a possibility of minor upside bounce, which could be a sell-on-rise opportunity in the market
After a rangebound trade on February 15, Nifty closed 0.2 percent lower, continuing downtrend for sixth consecutive sessions. It lost 2 percent during the week. Discouraging Q3 numbers along with rising oil prices, FII outflow and uncertainty over trade war talks weighed on sentiment.
The index registered a bearish candle on daily and weekly charts, which resembles a hammer and bearish belt hold pattern, respectively.
"Although Nifty is trading in the red, a majority of the momentum oscillators are in the oversold zone. The possibility of a bounceback cannot be ruled out," Shabbir Kayyumi, Head - Technical & Derivative Research at Narnolia Financial Advisors told Moneycontrol.
At the same time, the index has managed to recover intraday losses from the day's low point and formed a pin bar candle that can be called as a trend reversal pattern, he added.
If the index trades above today's high (10,782), it will accelerate towards 10,850. A close below the strong support of 100-DMA (10,694) will push the index lower towards 10,630, Kayyumi said.
Nagaraj Shetti, Technical Research Analyst at HDFC securities also said the overall weekly chart pattern is indicating a possibility of minor upside bounce, which could be a sell-on-rise opportunity in the market.
The broader market indices were hit very hard during the last week, falling 3 percent.
