Nifty failed to sustain gains during the week but the pace of selling seems to have slowed down. What are the key levels to watch out for during the week?
Nifty continues to move downward; however, the magnitude of the fall has lessened somewhat. The 24,000 level is likely to remain strong support for the index. As long as it stays above 24,000, Nifty bulls may have a chance to fight back. However, a fall below 24,000 could weaken the market. The RSI indicator remains in a positive crossover, suggesting that momentum is likely to stay strong in the short term. In the short term, the index might see a recovery toward 24,500, while a drop below 24,000 could trigger a correction in the market.The impact of US election results was felt on IT stocks with the IT index rallying 4% during the week.
