"Nifty closed lower at 17,174 on Monday forming a ‘Doji’ bar, while VIX ended at ~19-level. After a gap-down opening, the Index sustained below the same throughout the day, but the 200-DMA, placed at 17,164, offered interim support," said Viraj Vyas, Technical and Derivatives analyst at Ashika Broking.
Going forward, the bearish gap (17,440-17,240) is likely to act as a resistance, he said. In case the near-term support of 200-DMA is not held, the Index is likely slip towards 17,000-16,800 zone, added Vyas.
