India VIX, which measures the expected volatility in the market, moved up by 0.35 percent from 13 to 13.04 levels.
The Nifty50 erased all its gains in last hour of trade and closed in the red for the fourth consecutive session on June 30, as all sectoral indices, except IT, ended lower.
The index formed bearish candle which resembles Inverted Hammer kind of pattern on the daily charts. An Inverted Hammer is a reversal pattern in which the index closes near its opening levels. It has a long upper shadow, small or no lower shadow, and a small body.
The index formed an Inverted Hammer or Shooting Star kind of candle on the daily chart which indicates a pause in bounce back if follow up supply happens on next trading sessions. However, it still requires confirmation.
Mazhar Mohammad of Chartviewindia.in advised traders to remain cautious on long side whereas intraday traders can consider shorting below 15,670 for a modest targets of 15,550 levels by placing a stop above intraday high.
The Nifty50 started off the day higher at 15,776.90 and hit an intraday high of 15,839.10, but erased all gains in the last hour of trade to hit a day’s low of 15,708.75. The index fell 27 points to close at 15,721.50.
“Nifty50 registered yet another day of listless session as it remained in a narrow range of 131 points before signing off the session with a bearish candle with a long upper shadow which resembles Inverted Hammer,” Mazhar Mohammad, Chief Strategist – Technical Research & Trading Advisory at Chartviewindia.in told Moneycontrol.
However, “these patterns may not be significant enough as Nifty is directionless and stuck up in a range of 15,900 – 15,700 levels and need to emerge out of this for a directional move,” Mazhar Mohammad said.
He further said as the Nifty is witnessing selling pressure at higher levels, bears appear to be gaining upper hand which is also further supported by deteriorating technical indicator or oscillator setup as more number of indicators are turning bearish at lower time frame charts.
According to him, if Nifty slips below 15,700 levels then correction may get accelerated with targets towards 15,550 levels.
Similarly, bullish sentiment for near term shall get strengthened with targets present between 16,100 – 16,300 levels, if the index closes above 15,900 levels.
