The market has not shown any sign of strong rebound yet, as the recent recovery also failed and the benchmark Nifty closed at an eight-month low for the week ended March 24. Nervousness in global markets after the recent banking crisis and hike in securities transaction tax (STT) by the government weighed on market sentiment.

The Nifty50 fell nearly 1 percent during the week, to close at 16,945, the lowest level since week ended July 22 last year. The index has formed bearish candlestick pattern with long upper and lower shadows on the weekly timeframe, indicating volatility in the market. Also there has been lower top lower bottom formation for second consecutive week.

The index has strong resistance at around 17,200-17,250 area which acted as strong support before current major correction, as crossing the same can take the Nifty50 to 17,450-17,500 levels, whereas the crucial support remains at 16,800, experts said.

"The market is currently oversold, but such financial issues can be very disruptive at times. Hence, traders should ideally avoid aggressive bets for a while," Sameet Chavan, Chief Analyst-Technical and Derivatives at Angel One said.

From a technical point of view, he said, "we are not too far from the sacrosanct support zone of 16,850 - 16,800, which coincides with the September month swing low and 89-weekly EMA."

On the higher side, 17,200-17,250 has been acting as a sturdy wall and the bulls desperately need a convincing breakout beyond this to make a comeback, he added.

Amol Athawale, Technical Analyst (DVP) at Kotak Securities also feels a reversal formation on daily charts and bearish candle on weekly charts is indicating further weakness from the current levels.

The volatility is likely to be on the higher side and the apt strategy would be to keep a close eye on global developments and take one step at a time.

In case of relief, Sameet believes traders can find ample opportunities in the beaten spaces and for investors, this decline would provide opportunity to accumulate quality stocks in a staggered manner.

Hero MotoCorp: Sell | LTP: Rs 2,313 | Stop-Loss: Rs 2,350 | Target: Rs 2,150 | Return: 7 percent

The stock is continuously making series of lower highs and lower bottoms. On Friday, it closed at the lowest point of the week at Rs 2,310. Below the Rs 2,300 level, there could be a quick decline towards Rs 2,250 or Rs 2,150.

The key oscillator RSI is also comfortably placed below the 30 mark, indicating a bearish hold. Based on this the strategy should be to sell below Rs 2,300 level and place a stop-loss at Rs 2,350.

HDFC Life Insurance Company: Buy | LTP: Rs 492 | Stop-Loss: Rs 475 | Target: Rs 540

The stock is diverging positively on the daily chart. Major oscillators such as RSI and MACD are supporting the validation of the formation.

The stock is set to move higher towards Rs 530-540 in the near term. The 20-day SMA has support at Rs 480 which should be an ideal level to add more. One can keep stop-loss at Rs 475 and hold for a target of Rs 540.

On a weekly and monthly basis, the stock is forming a rectangle consolidation between Rs 1,650 and Rs 1,950 levels. In these types of cases, if the stock manages to close above the median level, which is at Rs 1,800, then we can expect an upward move towards the upper limit of the trading range.

Additionally, the cement sector has been performing well over the past few days and weeks, which will help the stock rally in the short term.

As the market sentiment is bearish, our strategy should be to buy in parts. Buy at the current level and add more at Rs 1,750. For this, one can keep a stop-loss at Rs 1,700. On the higher side, the stock may rally towards Rs 1,900 or Rs 1,950 in the near term.

Expert: Ruchit Jain, Lead Research at 5paisa.com

Crompton Greaves Consumer Electricals: Buy | LTP: Rs 294 | Stop-Loss: Rs 277 | Target: Rs 317 | Return: 8 percent

The stock has seen a price wise corrective phase in last few weeks. But the prices are now trading around its crucial support zone. Around its support, the RSI oscillator has given a positive divergence as a lower low in price is not confirmed by the oscillator. Hence, expect a pullback move in the stock in the short term.

Traders can buy the stock in the range of Rs 292-290 for potential short term targets of Rs 305 and Rs 317. The stop-loss on long positions should be placed below Rs 277.

The stock has been forming a ‘Lower Top Lower Bottom’ structure and has recently given a breakdown from a ‘Symmetrical Triangle’ pattern. The momentum readings are pointing at a continuation of the downtrend and hence, we expect further correction in the near term.

Traders are advised to sell the stock in the range of Rs 137-139 for potential near term targets of Rs 130 and Rs 124. The stop-loss for short positions should be placed above Rs 144.
