“A decisive fall below the 200DMA (17,587) may trigger the panic button. In that case, Nifty might fall down toward the 17,400 level, where the next level of support lies. The momentum indicator is indicating weakness with its bearish crossover on the daily timeframe. Therefore, the near-term trend looks negative, while the short-term set up remains a ‘buy on dips’ until the Nifty falls below 17,400 decisively,” said Rupak De, Senior Technical Analyst at LKP Securities

Nifty technical view

“The Bank Nifty index continued to trade in a narrow range one day before the weekly expiry. The options data suggest support at 42,000 and resistance at 42,500 where put and call writing respectively is visible. The undertone remains bullish as long as the index holds the support of 42,000 on the downside,” said Kunal Shah, Senior Technical Analyst at LKP Securities
