The market started off December series on a dismal note with the benchmark indices as well as broader markets falling around 3 percent each on November 26, as bears took a complete control over Dalal Street. As a result the weekly fall widened to over 4 percent. Fears of a new COVID-19 variant detected in South Africa which led to a shutdown of borders by nearby countries, heavy selling by FIIs and resurgence of COVID cases in European nations were the key reasons behind the sharp correction.

The Nifty50 broke crucial 17,000 mark intraday on Friday, though later managed to defend the same level at close. The index closed at 17,026, the lowest closing level since August 30, 2021 and saw the biggest single-day fall since April 12, 2021. Experts feel the mood at street turned more cautious and nervous after deep cut in the index and broader markets and hence the more correction can’t be ruled out if the index decisively breaks 17,000 mark in coming days.

“Considering the weekly chart, we will not be surprised to see it extending towards 16,500 – 16,200 in coming days. We do not want to sound too pessimistic, but this is what the price structure looks like at this moment,” says Sameet Chavan, Chief Analyst-Technical and Derivatives at Angel One. “On the flip side, 17,200 – 17,400 are to be seen as immediate hurdles.”

Chavan says with a slightly broader view, if Nifty has to regain any strength, it needs to surpass 17,700 with some authority. “Honestly this looks highly unlikely at current juncture as we expect lower levels to get tested first.”

The broader market too seems to have succumbed to this selling pressure and hence, “one should not be in a hurry to do any kind of bottom fishing immediately,” he advised.
