Day trading guide for today: After logging gains on two straight sessions, key benchmark indices of the Indian stock market finished lower on Thursday session. NSE Nifty ended 65 points lower at 18,343, BSE Sensex shed 230 points and closed at 61,750 whereas Nifty Bank finished 77 points down at 42,458 levels. Market observers believe that weak global cues were the major reason for Dalal Street snapping its two days winning streak.
According to stock market experts, a small negative candle was formed on the daily chart with a long upper shadow. Technically, this pattern indicates an emergence of minor weakness from the highs amidst a narrow-range movement. Nifty is now placed at the lower end of the range of the last four sessions.
Day trading guide for stock market today
On intraday trading tips, Nagaraj Shetti, Technical Research Analyst, HDFC Securities said, “Positive chart patterns like higher tops and bottoms continued on the daily chart and further consolidation or weakness from here is likely to be a higher bottom of the sequence. At the lows, the Nifty is likely to find support at the 10-day EMA around 18,250 levels and we expect the market to show an upside bounce from the lows in the short term.”
“The consolidation continues for our markets as the index has not been witnessing broader markets support in upside move. The midcap index is trading well below the previous highs while the market breadth is not strong enough to lead any broad market momentum. Although, certain large cap stocks have been leading the indices and hence this recent consolidation in last few days should just be seen as a time-wise correction within an uptrend,” said Ruchit Jain, Lead Research at 5paisa.com.
Unveiling intraday trading strategy for today, Ruchit Jain of 5paisa.com said, “Traders are advised to continue to trade with a positive bias, but be very selective in picking stock specific opportunities and avoid bottom fishing in the underperforming names.”
