Technically, this three formation could be considered as a rare bearish 'tri-star' pattern, which indicates a possibility of top reversal pattern soon in the market." Shetti went on to add that Nifty continued to show upmove with range bound action today and closed the day modestly higher. Though a doji type candlestick pattern was formed today, but not at new swing highs. "Still we need confirmation of reversal by the way of decline from the highs. Hence, long positions need to be careful at the swing highs," said Shetti.
