Mumbai: On the last day of October F&O expiry series the benchmark index Sensex plunged over 1300 points. On Thursday, after a weak opening the nifty swiftly break the 60,700 important support level and post breakdown intensified the weak momentum throughout the day.
Among sectors, almost all the major sectoral indices traded in the red, but sharp technical sell off was seen in PSU Banks, Reality and Metal stocks. Technically, the short-term texture of the market has been changed from buy on dips to sell on rallies. After a long time, the Sensex succeed to close below 20-day SMA which is broadly negative for the market.
For the day traders, the short-term trend is weak but, due to temporary oversold situation, the market may trigger a quick pullback rally.
"The intraday day trade set up suggest, 60,400 and 60,500 would be the key hurdle for the traders below the same correction wave is likely to continue till 59,650-59,550. Contra traders can take a long bet near 59,550 with strict 59,350 support stop loss," says Shrikant Chauhan, head of equity research (Retail), Kotak Securities.
"The texture of the market is weak hence level-based trading with strict stop losses would be the ideal strategy for the day traders," he added.
Another analyst said that it is going to be crucial for the short-term market scenario to sustain above the 59,500 Nifty50 Index support zone. If the market is unable to sustain the level of 59,500, we can
witness lower levels of 58,500. Technical indicator suggests, a volatile movement in the market.
