The Nifty plunged by 468 points amid broad-based selling across all sectors to close at 17,149 levels, lowest since December 27, 2021. In the last five sessions, the Nifty fell 1,350 points from a high of 18,350. Short-term trend turned bearish as the Nifty has closed below its 20, 50 and 100 day EMAs (exponential moving average).

If we were to consider the entire upswing seen from 16,410 (bottom made on December 20, 2021) to 18,350 (top registered on January 18, 2022), Nifty has retraced more than 50 percent and 61.8 percent of the swing which is considered bearish sign. Indicators and oscillators on the Nifty have turned bearish, which confirms the downtrend.

In the derivatives, we have seen aggressive Call writing at 17,500-17,600 levels. Moreover, 5 and 20 day EMA is now placed at 17,600 levels. Therefore, unless the Nifty closes above the 17,600 level, short-term trend will remain bearish.

The Nifty Smallcap and Midcap indices have registered Bearish Engulfing pattern on the weekly chart. It is recommended to remain cautious and reduce long positions in Small cap and Midcap Segment.

To sum it up, we believe that the short-term trend of the Nifty is weak. Therefore, advice is to remain bearish till the Nifty closes above the 17,600 levels. On the lower side, we expect the Nifty to find an immediate support around 16,800 levels. If the benchmark closes below 16,800 levels, the next downside targets are placed at 16,413 and 16,000.
