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

Nifty formed a doji candle on the daily charts, which indicates indecisiveness over further direction, followed by a spinning top formation in the previous session.

After two days of bull run, Indian equity benchmarks ended flat on September 24 as investors resorted to profit booking.

While some consolidation was expected, analysts said it will offer fresh buying opportunities to investors.

"The consolidation is healthy for the larger uptrend and will provide fresh buying opportunities. The consolidation, once matured, will make way for the next leg of the rally," said Gaurav Ratnaparkhi, Senior Technical Analyst at Sharekhan by BNP Paribas.

The market will take directional cues from the upcoming September quarter earnings of corporate houses and RBI's monetary policy outcome on October 4.

"From medium to long-term perspective, the outcome of the RBI monetary policy and revival in corporate earnings will be crucial, as it is likely to dictate the trend in the market," said Ajit Mishra Vice President, Research, Religare Broking.

The Sensex index added just 7 points to its previous close to end at 39,097.14 on September 24, with 15 stocks up and 15 down. On the other hand, Nifty lost 12 points to settle at 11,588.20, with 22 stocks in the green and 28 in the red.

Midcaps and smallcaps closed mixed. While the BSE Midcap index slipped 0.51 percent, the Smallcap index settled with a gain of 0.17 percent.

Nifty formed a doji candle on the daily charts, which indicates indecisiveness over further direction, followed by a spinning
top formation in the previous session.

Last two sessions of indecisive price patterns are clearly suggesting that the index might have hit a pause button to digest the recent euphoric gains. Hence, the consolidation is expected to continue in the coming session and 11,695 is a crucial level for further upside, experts said.

"Once the Nifty manages to get past 11,695 then a higher target in the zone of 11,772–11,798 can be expected, whereas on the downsides, a close below 11,382 could drag the index towards 11,200 levels," Mazhar Mohammad, Chief Strategist – Technical Research & Trading Advisory, Chartviewindia.in, told Moneycontrol.
