Also Read: Market Wrap: Sensex falls 200 points, Nifty ends around 19,300 amid weak global cues According to Sameet Chavan - Chief Analyst - Technical and Derivatives, Angel One, although, the correction has not been severe, the Nifty has marked negative close in last four consecutive weeks. The global headwinds and banking related concerns post the RBI policy are keeping our markets under pressure, whereas the inherent strength in other spaces is providing some support at lower levels.
"To summarize, key indices are stuck in a range and till we do not find any major trigger, the consolidation is likely to continue. If we take a meticulous glance at the hourly chart, we can see ‘Three-point Positive divergence’ in RSI-Smoothened oscillator.
