Index trend and stocks in action August 01, 2019
The Nifty opened the session on a negative note and slipped tad below the 11,000 mark momentarily. However, Nifty recovered gradually from the lows of the day to end with modest gain. The Nifty added 0.26 per cent to close at 11,114. Even though Nifty closed in the marginally positive territory, it formed a lower low and lower high. After closing below the 200-DMA (11,148) on July 30, Nifty attempted a pullback, but the pullback was resisted at 200-DMA. As long as Nifty trades below the 200-DMA, there are chances of the index moving further down towards the 10,980 level. Going ahead, only faster retracement above the 200-DMA will boost the sentiments in the markets. Further, the index needs to form higher high-low and this would be the first sign of revival for the bulls.
