Nifty Outlook : Monday, 21st September 2020 – Chandan Taparia
Nifty index remained in a narrow range of 200 points for most part of the week where declines were bought but absence of buying interest at higher zones was clearly visible. During the week it headed towards 11600 zones but selling pressure at higher zones took it back to 11500 marks. On the last trading session, it failed to surpass previous day’s high of 11587 and after a consolidative move it fell down to 11450 levels in the last hour of the session. It formed a Bearish Belt Hold or a Bearish Engulfing candle on daily scale while Spinning Top kind of candle on weekly scale and remained under pressure for most part of the session. RSI indicator is now turning lower on daily scale which suggests testing of lower support with consolidative move along with capped upside. Now it has to respect an immediate support of 11450 zones, to witness an up move towards 11600-11650 zones while on the downside next major support exists at 11350-11333 zones.
