Best intraday stocks to watch out for on February 23

The Nifty has declined sharply and closed below the 200 EMA.

Earlier, from January 27 to February 02, it declined below this crucial 200 EMA but failed close below the average. On Wednesday, it decisively closed below 200EMA, indicating that a long-term bullish strength has completely vanished. The Budget day low (17353) and the 200 SMA (17355) are the last hope for the market. In fact, it is already below the Budget day close. Most importantly, the Index is closed at the very crucial rising trendline support, which is drawn by connecting March 2020 low and June 2022 low.

It has already declined below the previous two-week low. All short and medium-term moving averages are in the downtrend. The MACD has given a fresh sell signal. RSI declined below the 40 zone and entered the strong bearish zone. During the last five trading sessions, the Nifty dipped by 605 points or 3.34% from its high. Now, a meaningful rise above 18000, where the 50DMA (17986) is also placed, and a channel resistance line, can be considered as a reversal on the upside. But, it has to make a higher high by closing above the 18134-265 swing highs. For now, the only hope is 17355 support. Be selective in this market. As monthly expiry is on the cards, There may be intermittent spikes, and any rise will give fresh shorting opportunities.
