Despite a strong opening, the Index was unable to hold its higher levels as a steep correction was seen in the IT and Mid/Smallcap counters which pulled the Index lower to 23,350, said Aditya Gaggar, director, Progressive Shares. However, a strong uptick in the Metal, select FMCG and PSU Banking stocks supported the Index to turn green but another round of selling dragged the Index lower to settle the trade at 23,453.80 with a loss of 78.90 points. The disparity was seen in the Broader markets where Midcaps outperformed while Smallcap underperformed the Frontline Index.
With a bearish Marubozu candlestick pattern, the Index decisively closed below the 200–day simple moving average which provides a negative picture but to confirm the breakdown, we will wait for at least 1 or 2 trading sessions. Today's low is crucial and considered as immediate support: 23,350 while the first hurdle is placed at 23,600. A break on either sides will open the door for another 250-300 points, Gaggar said.
