The Indian benchmark index, Gift Nifty, got off to a positive start, indicating favorable trends in the domestic equity market. With the Gift Nifty trading around the 19,800 level, there is optimism among investors. However, the market experienced a slight downturn in Monday’s session, with the Sensex falling 139.58 points to close at 65,655.15, and the Nifty 50 ending 37.80 points, or 0.19%, lower at 19,694.00.
Analyzing the Nifty 50, we observe a small negative candle on the daily chart, suggesting a range-bound action in the market with a weak bias. Nagaraj Shetti, a Technical Research Analyst at HDFC Securities, notes that there is a minor degree of higher tops and bottoms in the Nifty. He believes that the recent swing high of 19,875 could be viewed as a new higher top in the sequence, and any subsequent dips are expected to form higher bottoms.
Despite the short-term range-bound trend, there is a possibility of consolidation or minor weakness before an upside bounce from the lows. As we move forward, it will be crucial to keep an eye on Nifty 50 and Bank Nifty to gauge the market’s direction.
