Gaurav Ratnaparkhi, Head of Technical Research, Sharekhan by BNP Paribas said, “The Nifty opened gap down on Monday, as a follow through of the bearish outside bar & Engulfing bear candle formation on the daily chart on Friday.” 

He further said, “On the downside, however, it received buying support as it reached the hourly lower Bollinger Band. Thereon the index took a leap back to the hourly upper Bollinger Band, which acted as a cap for the day.” 

“Structurally, the index has moved up to retest the 20 DMA & the swing high of 17155. This is a key hurdle to watch out for. If this level is crossed on a closing basis then the Nifty will be set for an extension in the pullback,” the analyst said in post market comment. 

“On the other hand, failure to cross 17155 on a closing basis would keep the index in a consolidation mode. In that case, the index can tumble back to 16800-16700 in the short term, Ratnaparkhi said.
