    NEW DELHI: As Nifty reversed most of the previous session's losses on Tuesday, it formed a bullish candle on the daily chart.

    Nagaraj Shetti of HDFC Securities said, the upside bounce of Tuesday could be another evidence of comeback of bulls after a sharp weakness.

    "As happened in the past, one may expect further upside in the market for the short term and possible retest of the 12,000 mark in the next few sessions. Immediate support is placed at 11,710 levels," he said.

    Ajit Mishra of Religare Broking said, the rebound in Nifty indicates that the prevailing consolidation phase will continue.

    "Meanwhile, markets are offering trading opportunities across the board and traders should proactively manage their positions in such a scenario. Investors, on the other hand, should not give much weightage to these short term price fluctuations and maintain their focus on accumulating fundamentally sound stocks on dips," he said.

    Manish Hathiramani of Deen Dayal Investments said, Nifty needs to cross 11,900-11,950 in order to generate early buy signals and thereafter the index can be expected to achieve 12,200-12,300.

    "Breaking of 11,700 would indicate a fresh wave of sells, which could drive the index down to 11,400-11,450," he said.

    That said here’s a look at what some of the key indicators are suggesting for Wednesday's action:
    US stocks flat after Monday's selloff
    The S&P 500 was little changed on Tuesday after a sharp pull back in the prior session as investors parsed through a slew of mixed corporate earnings, while awaiting progress on U.S. fiscal stimulus. The Dow Jones Industrial Average was down 71.97 points, or 0.26%, at 27,613.41, the S&P 500 was down 0.95 points, or 0.03%, at 3,400.02. The Nasdaq Composite was up 53.17 points, or 0.47%, at 11,412.11.

    European shares extend losses as virus fears dominate
    European stocks extended losses on Tuesday, as worries about the economic fallout of tighter coronavirus restrictions in the continent countered gains from upbeat results from UK blue-chip companies HSBC and BP. The pan-European STOXX 600 index fell 0.9% after closing at a one-month low on Monday, when markets were hammered by rising infections in the United States and Europe and fading hopes of a stimulus package before the U.S. presidential election.

    Tech View: Nifty forms bullish candle
    Nifty50 made a smart recovery on Tuesday and took out the immediate resistance at 11,800 level at the opening bell itself. The index closed near the day's high of 11,899 and formed a bullish candle on the daily chart. The gains were seen even as Monday's long bearish candle suggested selling pressure ahead. "In the last few sessions, the formation of long bear candles did not lead to any reasonable follow-through decline," said Nagaraj Shetti, Technical Research Analyst at HDFC Securities.

    F&O: VIX needs to cool down further
    India VIX fell 2.78 per cent from 22.83 to 22.19 level. Volatility needs to cool down below 20 mark for the market to stabilise and keep in account any spike ahead of the US election. Options data suggested an immediate trading range between 11,700 and 12,000 levels.
