Post closing view: Market in very fragile mode; likely to be rangebound in near-term

Markets once again went into a plunge mode as panic-stricken investors taking cues from an early slump in European indices and weakness in other Asian gauges dumped equities, especially metal, power & realty stocks.

The market is currently in a very fragile mode as any signs of negativeness is prompting traders to exit stocks at will.

Technically, the Nifty has also formed a bearish candle which suggests further weakness from the current levels.

On intraday charts, the index has formed non directional formation while the texture of the chart is suggesting that a range bound activity is likely to continue in the near future.

For traders, 15500 would act as an immediate resistance level, above which it could rally till 15600-15650. On the flip side, 15350 could be the key support level to watch out for. Below the same, the index could slip till 15250-15200.
