On the daily chart, INDEX is consolidating above the levels of 50 EMA and defining strength, whereas the structure of the weekly and monthly charts is positively placed, adding strength to the overall price pattern.

The Index on the daily chart has witnessed a falling wedge pattern breakout and prices are trading above the upper band of the range. The prices are trading in a higher high higher low formation from the past month, suggesting a base formation at lower levels.

Technical Overview – Bank Nifty

The Banking index opened more than 100 points lower and registered an intraday low at 43,450 levels and post that the index found some buying spurt at lower levels and witnessed a falling wedge pattern breakout on the intraday time frame.

Overall, it was a very narrow-range trading session where intraday traders kept guessing the direction of the trade. On the daily chart, the Index formed a DOJI candle stick and the prices continued to trade below its 9 & 21 EMA which intended the overhanging resistance. The momentum oscillator RSI (14) has entered a bearish crossover mode due to a strong sell-off in the banking index.

On the daily chart, Bank Nifty is finding resistance near 43,800 marks, followed by active call writers. Currently, INDEX is trading near the lower demand zone, with support placed at 43,400 marks. A break below 43,400 will trigger panic, and a move above 43,800 will trigger short covering.

Indian markets:

• The domestic stock market faced a second consecutive session of decline, influenced by mixed global cues.
• The day commenced with subdued trading, mostly constrained within a narrow range.
• Selling pressure in autos and FMCG shares led the Nifty to dip below 19,700, although gains in IT and healthcare shares mitigated some intraday losses.
• Market sentiment felt the strain of elevated long-term interest rates and a weakening global economy.
• However, reduced selling activities by Foreign Institutional Investors (FIIs) lent support to the domestic market despite these challenges.
