NSE (Nifty): 15709

Technical Outlook

* Despite initial sharp sell-off, the Nifty managed to close on a flat note as it recouped most of intraday losses (recovered more than 200 points from day low), highlighting inherent strength. The daily price action formed a hammer like candle with small real body and long lower shadow, highlighting supportive efforts emerged at lower band of consolidation coincided with 50 days EMA placed around 15550. As a result, Nifty managed to hold the key support of 15500 on expected lines

* The elevated buying demand at key support threshold of 15500 highlights inherent strength that makes us believe, holding above Wednesday’s panic low (15513) would help index to gradually head towards upper band of consolidation placed at 15950 in coming week. In the process, bouts of volatility can not be ruled out. Hence, any dip from here on which should be capitalised on to accumulate quality stocks amid progression of Q1FY22 earning season

* Structurally, the index is undergoing a shallow retracement as over past seven weeks it has merely retraced 23% of preceding 8 weeks rally (14150-15900), highlighting robust price structure. We believe, ongoing healthy consolidation would pave the way for next leg of up move

* The broader market indices took a breather after recent resilience. We believe, temporary breather from hereon would help broader markets to cool off the overbought condition and form a higher base that would pave the way for next leg of up move

* Structurally, we expect ongoing corrective decline to get anchored around key support threshold of 15500, as it is confluence of:

* a) 80% retracement of June-July rally (15450-15962), at 15550

* b) 10 weeks EMA placed at 15630 In current scenario, index has already corrected over past 3 sessions. Thereby we expect Nifty to maintain the same rhythm by arresting ongoing correction in coming sessions. Meanwhile, volatility to remain high owing to monthly expiry. Hence use intraday dips towards 15680- 15710 to create long for target of 15797.
