Trade setup for Tuesday

Speaking on the outlook for Nifty today, Nagaraj Shetti, Senior Technical Research Analyst at HDFC Securities, said, “Nifty is currently placed at the hurdle of opening downside gap around 23,250 and the bearish weekly candlestick pattern like hanging man of last week is still intact. Despite moving into all-time highs, the market is failing to gather strength to move up further,” adding, “The near-term trend of Nifty remains positive. However, having placed at the crucial hurdle around 23,300 levels, the chances of downward correction could be high in the short term. Immediate support is at 23100 levels.”

Technically, on the weekly scale, the index has formed a hanging man candlestick pattern. As per this pattern, 51,130-51,140 will act as resistance for the index. On the downside, immediate support for the index is placed near 49,000 levels followed by 48,580 levels, where 34-DEMA support is placed.”
