Chandan Taparia, Motilal Oswal Financial Services said the index is facing hurdles near to 11450 zones and till it remains below the same, weakness could be seen towards 11250 and then 11200 levels.
“On the upside, resistances are placed at 11450 and then 11500 zones to again get the bullish grip in the market, he said.
Ajit Mishra of Religare Broking said the recent dip is in line with profit-taking in the global markets however further escalation of border tension between India and China may deteriorate the sentiment further.
“Traders should focus more on risk management in the current scenario and prefer hedged trades,” he said.
Mazhar Mohammad of Chartviewindia.in said the index saw a new low on a closing price chart in this corrective swing, which is in progress from the highs of 11,794 level.
“This correction shall get accelerated further going forward if the index falls below 11,250 level, towards an initial target of 11,100,” he said.
That said here’s a look at what some of the key indicators are suggesting for Wednesday’s action:
US shares tumble as investors dump tech stocks
The Nasdaq tumbled on Tuesday as investors dumped high-flying technology stocks, while Tesla tracked its worst day in nearly six months after a surprise exclusion from the S&P 500. The Dow Jones Industrial Average was down 536.63 points, or 1.91%, at 27,596.68, the S&P 500 was down 70.76 points, or 2.06%, at 3,356.20, and the Nasdaq Composite was down 286.42 points, or 2.53%, at 11,026.72.
Brexit tensions weigh on European shares
European shares fell on Tuesday on fears that the UK was in danger of leaving the European Union without a trade agreement, while technology firms tumbled as their US peers looked set to deepen a selloff from last week. The pan-European STOXX 600 fell 0.4%, shortly after opening marginally higher, as technology stocks weighed the most with a 1.7% fall.
Tech View: Nifty forms bearish candle
Nifty50 on Tuesday failed to capitalise on the intraday gains, as it faced selling pressure near the 11,450 level. The index tested the 11,300 level at the fag-end, before closing the session at 11,317. It formed a small bearish candle on the daily chart. Nifty has been making small candles for a couple of sessions now, suggesting consolidation. A fall below the 11,250 level may attract selling, analysts said, who believe the 11,450 level may continue to be the immediate hurdle for Nifty. For now, the index is trading between the 20-day and 40-day moving averages, which are the key short-term targets.
