In the last two weeks, the index has suffered a substantial decline, causing it to enter the oversold territory, and opening up the possibility of a technical resurgence.
The magnitude and rapidity of the index's descent imply that any ensuing recovery is likely to be equally sharp, calling for traders to exercise vigilance and adopt a stringent stop-loss approach set at 19,725.
Traders seeking to profit from potential buying opportunities at lower levels should set their sights on the index or its constituents, with targets set at 20,500 and 20,800.

Given the current circumstances, traders would be best advised to employ a strategy of purchasing near support levels and selling close to resistance levels until a breakout materialises.
A move above the upper range of 3,725 could pave the way for further gains, with potential targets at 3,864 and 4,000. Conversely, a close below the lower range of 3,536 could signal support levels around 3,390, which would represent a near-term oversold zone for the index.
Last close: 17,560.15
However, the daily charts reflect oversold market conditions, which could trigger a breakout toward the higher side.
If the index were to trade and close above 17,750, the ensuing resistance levels would likely be at 18,080 and 18,500.
Therefore, traders are advised to employ a trading strategy that involves purchasing the index and its constituents at lower levels, with a stop loss set at 17,260 and a target range of 18,080 to 18,500.
