Trade Setup for Tuesday: Top 15 things to know before Opening Bell

The bearish sentiment continued on Dalal Street with the Sensex falling more than 400 points intraday on July 22.

Benchmark indices closed at a two-month low. Sensex was down 305.88 points at 38,031.13 while the Nifty50 fell 73.10 points to 11,346.20 but held 200-day exponential moving average (11,297) and formed bearish candle on daily scale.

If the index breaks 200-DEMA, then there could be more selling pressure, experts said.

"Though the index is trading closer to the next support zone of 11,300-11,350 levels, until it does not trade above 5 EMA placed around 11,490 levels, the trend will remain bearish. Support comes from Andrew pitchfork lower trend line that is placed near 11,340 levels and monthly pivot point (S2) that is at 11,361 marks," Shabbir Kayyumi, Head of Technical Research, Narnolia Financial Advisors, told Moneycontrol.

Gaurav Ratnaparkhi, Senior Technical Analyst, Sharekhan by BNP Paribas, also said the index can consolidate near 11,400-11,300 before stretching further down.

"Overall, the index is expected to test 11,200, which is the equality with the first leg of the July decline. Traders can continue to ride their short positions & trail the stop loss on the way down," he added.

The broader markets also witnessed selling pressure with the Nifty Midcap index falling 0.57 percent and Smallcap index declining 1.57 percent.
