Technical View:
Nifty formed a Grave Stone Doji kind of pattern on daily charts
It closed below its 50-DMA placed at 12,120
In the next trading session if the index trades below 12099 levels then it can come under selling pressure which can eventually drag it down towards recent lows of11990.
If bulls manage to defend 12099 levels then the sideways trend may prevail but a strong close above 12170 is required for resumption of the upmove towards 12266 levels
Traders are advised to wait for at least a strong close above 12138 levels before initiating fresh longs whereas intraday traders shall consider a short side trade if Nifty remains below 12099 levels suggest experts.
Three levels: 12099, 12172, 12200
Max Call OI: 12500, 12200
Max Put OI: 12000, 11500
