Near term trend for Nifty has turned bearish, says HDFC Securities

Nifty outlook and technical calls by Nandish Shah, Senior Technical & Derivatives Analyst at HDFC Securities:

Nifty View 

Targets: 11,495 & 11,320

Stop Loss: 11,760

Nifty has breached the crucial support of 11,600 on Monday with bearish oscillator set up,  which can be considered as a short-term bearish trend reversal.  This has also resulted into a violation of 5 and 10 DMA in

Nifty.

Oscillators have been showing sign of weakness in the index for the last couple of weeks, but earlier there was no confirmation from the price side, as Nifty remained above the support levels. RSI had been trading in the overbought zone not only on the daily but also on the weekly and monthly charts. There had been a development of RSI negative divergence on the daily, weekly and monthly charts, which indicates the weakening of the bullish Momentum and distribution on higher levels. Nifty Mid-caps and Small Indices which were showing strength since the last few days, fell sharply yesterday where they both fell by over 2.5% Advance-Decline ratio stood at 0.38 levels, lowest since 16-July.

Considering the technical evidence discussed above, we believe that, short-term trend for Nifty has turned bearish and could see downside levels of 11,495 and 11,320. Stop-loss in Nifty shorts should be kept at 11,760.
