Tech View: Nifty likely to test 22,700 support. How to trade tomorrow

A reasonable negative candle was formed on the Nifty daily chart, with a gap down opening and with a long upper shadow. Technically, this pattern indicates a decisive downside breakout of a symmetrical triangle pattern with lack of strength to bounce back. The immediate support of 23,260 has been violated on the downside and the market is now placed to slide further lows.

The underlying trend of Nifty continues to be weak. Nifty is on the way down to the next lower support of around 22,800-22,700 levels . Any pullback up to 23,350 could be a sell-on-rise opportunity, said Nagaraj Shetti of HDFC Securities.

In the open interest (OI) data, the highest OI on the call side was observed at 23,300 and 23,200 strike prices, while on the put side, the highest OI was at 23,000 strike price.

What should traders do? Here’s what analysts said:

On the daily charts we can observe that the Nifty has broken below the Nov, 2024 low 23,263 suggesting weakness. The daily momentum indicator has a negative crossover which is a sell signal. Thus, we shall continue to maintain a negative stance on the index for a target of 22,670 which coincides with the 38.2% Fibonacci retracement level of the rally from March, 2023 low (16,828). On the upside the swing low of 23,260 – 23,300 shall act as an immediate hurdle as per the principle of role reversal.

Bears remained at the helm as the Nifty continued to breach crucial levels. The index slipped below its previous swing low on the daily chart, indicating increasing bearishness. However, it held the 23,000 mark, which remains a key level to watch. If the Nifty sustains above 23,000 over the next few days, it could signal a potential recovery. Conversely, a decisive fall below this level might trigger a deeper correction.

Technically, Nifty 50 is looking very weak with prospects of a further breakdown, although RSI indicates near term conditions look oversold. Expect 23,000 as key psychological support with next support around 22,800. Bank Nifty also fell sharply appearing oversold in the short term with RSI falling below 30.(Disclaimer: Recommendations, suggestions, views and opinions given by the experts are their own.
