Gaurav Ratnaparkhi, Senior Technical Analyst, Sharekhan by BNP Paribas said weekly and daily momentum indicators suggest the Nifty continues to be in a corrective phase

June 23, 2019 / 07:06 PM IST

The market reversed most of its gains that were seen in the previous session and closed sharply lower on June 21. Escalated geopolitical tensions between the US and Iran and the RBI's concern over slowing economy dented traders' sentiment.

Sensex fell 407.14 points or 1.03 percent to 39,194.49, while Nifty shed 107.70 points or 0.91 percent to 11,724.10, forming a bearish candle on the daily as well as weekly charts. For the week, indices declined 0.65 percent and 0.8 percent, respectively.

"Bulls could not sustain the crucial upside area of 11,780-11,800 and the Nifty closed below it. Nifty showed weakness this week as per the weekly timeframe chart. A long negative candle was formed this week with a lower shadow. This pattern signals that the market is now preparing to witness a downside breakout of the previous three weeks range around 11,760 levels. This is a negative indication," Nagaraj Shetti – Senior Technical and Derivative Analyst, HDFC Securities, told Moneycontrol.

One may expect the Nifty to retest the recent lower support of 11,625 levels in the next week, he said.

Gaurav Ratnaparkhi, Senior Technical Analyst, Sharekhan by BNP Paribas also said that the weekly and daily momentum indicators suggest the Nifty continues to be in a corrective phase.

"On the downside, 11,625-11,591 is the near term support zone with the overall target area being 11,250-11,200, he added.

The broader markets outperformed benchmark indices, with the Nifty Midcap and Smallcap indices closing flat with a negative bias. All sectoral indices closed in the red.
