Index trend and stocks in action March 07, 2018

After a gap up opening, Nifty traded with positive bias in the first half of the session. However, in the mid-session, Nifty witnessed a rollercoaster ride as it lost almost 200 points from the day’s high and plunged to a fresh 2018 low. The price action formed a sizeable bear candle which has violated the broad range of the past four weeks. Now, going forward, the market could drift to test the daily 200-SMA, which is placed around the level of 10,120. But any bounce-back towards the levels of 10,310 and 10,350 will act as immediate resistance areas for the Nifty. The 14-period RSI has marked a fresh low of 34.25.
