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

Jimeet Modi of SAMCO Securities said volatility has increased giving intraday traders good opportunities provided they are on the right side of the market

August 04, 2019 / 07:04 PM IST

The benchmark indices closed moderately in green on August 2, but weakness continued for the fourth straight week in a row, keeping the Nifty below psychological 11,000 level.

The BSE Sensex after witnessing a swing of 768 points closed 99.90 points higher at 37,118.22 on August 2 but lost 2 percent for the week.

Nifty gained 17.40 points to close at 10,997.40 but saw 2.5 percent weekly loss. The index formed a bullish candle that resembles a High Wave kind of pattern on daily charts but saw bearish candle formation on the weekly scale.

"The formation of High Wave type candle pattern signals a confused state of mind among market participants at the lows. Though Nifty is showing a sharp weakness recently, we observe the emergence of buying frequently from the lows in the last couple of occasions. But, the sustainability of gains had been a major concern as of now," Nagaraj Shetti, Technical Research Analyst, HDFC Securities told Moneycontrol.

He said the overall chart pattern indicates a possibility of upside bounce in the market, but a reversal with a confirmation of up move in the subsequent sessions could only open a possibility of more upside in the market. Immediate supports to be watched at 10,850 levels, he added.

Jimeet Modi, Founder & CEO, SAMCO Securities & StockNote said volatility has increased giving intraday traders good opportunities provided they are on the right side of the market.

"Traders may cover their short positions and wait for rallies to create further short positions. Long trading positions should be avoided from trading perspectives," he advised.

The broader markets also saw some recovery from day's low and cut down losses to end 0.3 percent lower on Friday. For the week, the Nifty Midcap index lost 2.82 percent and Smallcap index shed 4.74 percent.
