Last week, Nifty started on a weaker note and declined 2% on Monday. It also added a distribution day and we downgraded the market status to an Uptrend Under Pressure. On Friday, Nifty gapped lower and selling pressure intensified as the day progressed. There were talks about uncertainty arising from the new COVID-19 variant found in Africa. In the last hour, Nifty breached 17,000 and managed to close briefly above it.
Nifty is trading below its 50- and 100-DMA and more than 8% off highs. During the week, barring Nifty Pharma (+2.3%), all sectoral indices closed lower. Nifty Auto (-8.4%) declined the most. Nifty Bank, Financial, FMCG, and IT closed 3–5% lower.
On Friday, we changed the market status to a Downtrend as the distribution day count increased to six. Stocks continued to take on technical damage with many moving deeper into their respective bases and breaking below logical support levels. Markets are currently not conducive for holding stocks below their 50- and 200-DMA. Looking forward, we will shift the market to a Rally Attempt if Nifty establishes a bottom and stays above today’s low (16,985) for three straight sessions. From there, we would prefer to see a follow-through day before shifting the market back to a Confirmed Uptrend.
