Manish Hathiramani, proprietary index trader and technical analyst said the index could drop to 10950-11000 levels as the fall today has been fierce and on the back of good volumes.
Ruchit Jain of Angel Broking said a continuation of the downmove could lead to further sell-off and hence traders should stay light on positions and avoid overnight positions.
NEW DELHI: As Nifty ended lower for the third straight session on Monday, it formed a bearish candle on the daily chart.
Vinod Nair of Geojit Financial Services said with high valuations and worries that earnings may not justify such valuations anytime soon, markets may trade with uncertainty for the time being.
Manish Hathiramani, proprietary index trader and technical analyst said the index could drop to 10950-11000 levels as the fall today has been fierce and on the back of good volumes.
"The resistance on the upside is at 11550-11600. Until then the markets look weak," he said.
Ruchit Jain of Angel Broking said a continuation of the downmove could lead to further sell-off and hence traders should stay light on positions and avoid overnight positions.
“As far as levels are concerned, 11,185 and 11,110 are the intraday supports; followed by the short term support at the ‘89 DEMA’ which is around 11,940. On the flipside, 11,335 and 11,450 are now the immediate resistances,” he said.
That said here’s a look at what some of the key indicators are suggesting for Tuesday's action: US stocks hits near 7-week low on virus fears, stimulus fog Wall Street's main indexes hit their lowest in nearly seven weeks on Monday as concerns about fresh coronavirus-driven lockdowns and the inability of Congress to agree on more fiscal stimulus raised fears about another hit to the domestic economy. The Dow Jones Industrial Average was down 588.64 points, or 2.13%, at 27,068.78, the S&P 500 was down 59.80 points, or 1.80%, at 3,259.67, and the Nasdaq Composite was down 142.45 points, or 1.32%, at 10,650.83.
European shares on course for worst day since June A slide in HSBC and Standard Chartered set the FTSE 100 on course for its worst day in three months on Monday after reports the banks were among those that moved allegedly illicit funds over the past two decades, while travel stocks plummeted on fears of more coronavirus-related lockdowns. An index of travel and leisure stocks, already among the biggest decliners this year, tumbled 5.6%. The mid-cap FTSE 250 fell 3.1% to its lowest in nearly two months.
Tech View: Nifty needs to revisit 11,333 for any recovery “Nifty formed a Bearish candle on a daily scale and is heading towards its 50-DEMA, which does not bode well for the bulls. As long as it sustains below 11,333 level, more weakness can be seen towards 11,111 and 11,000 levels. Upside hurdles are shifting lower towards 11,450 zone,” said Chandan Taparia of Motilal Oswal Securities.
F&O: Spike in VIX bad news for bulls Nifty opened flattish on Monday, but failed to hold the 11,500 level and fell sharply in the second half of the session towards the 11,200 zone. The index has been forming lower top and bottom on the hourly scale and witnessed negative crossover on the mechanical indicator on daily and weekly scales. It formed a bearish candle on the daily scale, and headed towards its 50 DEMA, which doesn’t bode well for the bulls. India VIX moved up sharply by 10.66 per cent from 20.04 to 22.18 level. A sudden spurt in volatility indicated more weakness with a capped upside.
