Index trend and stocks in action December 04, 2019
Yesterday, the Nifty extended its fall for the third straight day in a row, as it went on to end the day with losses of about half a per cent. The index opened the session with a modest uptick but this positive uptick was merely a formality. It gave up all its early gains in no time. As the day progressed, selling pressure aggravated and the index slipped below 12,000 mark. However, in the latter half, it took support around the 20-DMA and recoup some portion of its losses at the close. The price action formed a sizable bear candle with minor lower shadow. However, there is an important observation that Nifty had opened on a high note for third day in a row. This clearly reflects right from open that bears is knocking down the bulls.
Technically, Nifty has breached its rising trendline and closed below the important 12,000 mark. In the coming session, the opening of the index and its price behavior around the 20-DMA will be crucial to watch out. If it breaches its Tuesday’s session low (11,956), it can attract a fresh round of selling. In this case, it could slide down to levels of 11,800-11,820 and this area is a key area to watch out for in the short term. On the upside, it needs to first cross its immediate hurdle of 12,040 level and next resistance is placed around 12,140 levels.
Overall, Tuesday’s session has given initial signs of the resurrection of the bears and, going ahead, the level of 11,956 is the key to watch out, as a move below this level would mean that the index might be heading to levels of 11,800-11,820 in the short term.
