Here's how analysts the market pulse:
«Nifty is in the process of retracing the rise it has witnessed from 22,054 to 23111. The 38.2% Fibonacci retracement level is placed at 22707. We expect the Nifty to recover over the next few trading sessions. We believe that this is a minor degree correction and not a trend reversal,» said Jatin Gedia of Sharekhan.
Osho Krishan of Angel One, said, «Nifty has breached the neckline of the recent breakout and is now heading towards the mean of the 'Rising channel' at 22600, followed by the 20-day EMA at 22500, which is to be considered as the crucial support level. On the higher end, the bearish gap of 22825-22860 is to be seen as an intermediate hurdle, while the sturdy wall stays at the 23000 mark.»
