Nifty, after a flat opening yesterday, traded sideways in the first half of the trading session. In the second half, global sentiments weighed on the index, leading to a sharp selloff in the Indian market. Nifty formed lower low in the hourly chart and closed near the day's low, posting significant loss.
In the process, Nifty breached its 50-DMA. However, as volumes were lower than the previous session, Nifty escaped from adding a distribution day. In addition, most of the leaders are still trading above their 50-DMA. Thus, we will closely watch one or two days more before downgrading the market to a Downtrend. The broader market also felt the heat of bearish sentiment. Nifty Midcap was down 4.1%, while Smallcap closed 4.2% lower.
As the market is in an Uptrend Under Pressure, investors should proceed with caution. Unless a stock shows exceptional fundamental and technical strength, no new addition to the portfolio is advised. Investors should consider booking profits in stocks that have performed well and advanced 20–25% from their ideal buy points.
