Weekly Market Outlook for 19 February to 23 February

In the week gone by, our markets initially witnessed selling pressure and corrected upto 21530 during mid-week. However, the indices rebounded smartly in the later part of the week and it reclaimed the 22000 mark at close.

Nifty Today:

Our markets have seen some roller coaster move in last one month, however this volatility has been within a broad range where the index resisted twice around 22127 and the declines from that support witnessed buying interest around the 40-day EMA. This seems to be a time-wise correction within an uptrend as the broader markets too were overbought and have cooled-off in this phase. The daily chart resembles an  ‘Ascending Triangle’ on the daily chart of Nifty, and the breakout is placed above the recent high of 22127. If this level gets surpassed, then the next target levels as per the measurement of this mentioned pattern will be seen around 22500 followed by 23000-23100 range. On the flipside, the immediate supports for Nifty are placed around 21925 and 21800 while positional support is the 40 DEMA level which is now around 21530.
