Technical
The Nifty ended the week lower as it faced selling pressure around 12000. On the weekly chart, a bearish engulfing pattern has formed which suggests pause in uptrend. Daily RSI is in bearish crossover. On the higher end, resistance is placed at 12100; a decisive breakout above 12100 may induce strong rally in the market. On the other hand, crucial support is placed at 11550; below which the Nifty may witness selling pressure.
