  • Short term trend of the Nifty turned weak as it has closed below its 5-, 11- and 20-day EMA.
     
  • Amongst the Nifty options, Call writing is seen at 19,500 - 19,600 levels.
     
  • Momentum Oscillators like RSI(11) and MFI(10) are in falling mode and placed below benchmark level of 50, indicting bearish trend.
