Nifty plunged by 303 points on the back of selling mainly in technology, pharma and banking stocks to close at 17,214 levels, lowest since December 27. In the last three sessions, the Nifty has fallen more than 600 points from a high of 17,781 levels. Short-term trend turned bearish as the Nifty has closed below its 20, 50 and 100-day EMA (exponential moving average).

In the derivatives, we have seen aggressive Call writing at 17,500-17,600 levels. Moreover, the 20-day EMA is currently placed around 17,540 levels. This level also coincides with the Nifty intraday high made on Monday (17,537). Therefore, unless the Nifty closes above the 17,550 level, the short-term trend will remain bearish.

If we were to draw a trendline adjoining the recent lows of December 20, 2021 and January 25, 2022 on the daily chart, support comes around 17,000 levels. On the weekly chart also, a trendline adjoining the lows of week ending April 23, 2021, December 24, 2021 and January 28, 2022, projects support around 16,950 levels. Therefore, we believe that on the downside, multiple supports are placed in the vicinity of 16,900-17,000 levels. Any close below 16,900 levels would be considered as a bearish signal on the medium-term charts which could drag the Nifty towards the next support of 16,410 levels.

However, the advice is to keep stock specific approach as many midcap stocks are better placed as compared to benchmark indices.
