Index trend and stocks in action September 12, 2018

The NSE benchmark Nifty started the session on a positive note; however, the uncertainty in the global markets and the non-stop fall in the Indian rupee weighed down heavily on the index. As the day progressed, the negativity reinforced and in the last leg of trading, sharp sell-off eventually took Nifty below its crucial 11,350 mark. The price action formed a sizeable bear candle carrying a lower high-low formation, indicating extended profit-booking. The index is hovering around its crucial support area as the level of 11,320 is 38.2 retracement level of its previous upmove from 11,557 to 11,760 and the 50-day SMA is placed around the level of 11,293. Hence, the zone of 11,290-11,320 would act as a key support zone for the Nifty and a follow through move below this zone may take the index towards the level of 11,225. On the upside, the level of 11,390, followed by 11,435, is likely to act as a barrier for the index.
