Tech View :: 'Expect Nifty to move sideways'
Nifty50
On the daily charts, we can observe that the Nifty has breached the previous swing high of 21,750 and hence violates the downtrend as the lower top lower bottom formation has been violated.
During the fal,l the Nifty held on to the support of the 40-day average placed around 21,200 which shall now act as a lower boundary during the consolidation phase.
On the upside, the Index can continue its pullback towards 21,913 which coincides with the 78.6% fibonacci retracement level of the fall from 22,124 – 21,137 and also the gap formed on the 17th January, 2024 in the range 21,850 – 22,000 shall act as an immediate hurdle going ahead.
The daily momentum indicator has a negative crossover. However, it has reached the equilibrium line and also prices are not showing weakness which can lead to a range bound action over the next few trading sessions. Considering the above parameters, we shall change our outlook on the Nifty to sideways and the broad range of consolidation is likely to be 21,200 – 22,000.

Bank Nifty
