Nifty has fallen in value for the last five days in a row as bears have been controlling the market. The global equity sell-off was triggered by the US banking crisis, which pushed the benchmark Nifty below its 200-day moving average (17,447). A move below the 200DMA is considered long-term bearish.
However, on the lower end, the index has fallen towards the lower band of the falling channel, which may lead to a small bounce in the near term. On the higher end, recovery towards 17,200 looks possible where a significant amount of Call writing is visible.
A decisive move above 17,200 may induce a further upward move towards 17,400–17,460. On the other hand, a decisive fall below 16,950 may trigger panic in the market and send the Nifty towards 16,750 and lower.
Bank Nifty has sustained below the critical short-term moving averages on the daily chart. The momentum indicator is in bearish crossover. A fall below 39,000 may trigger further corrections towards 38,800-38,500. On the higher end, resistance is visible at 39,500.
Here are three buy calls for next 2-3 weeks:
