Bears eventually gained control over D-Street after 3 days of consolidation. The Nifty closed below the crucial support level of 9,400 on Tuesday which suggests a loss of momentum.
The index also slipped below its crucial short-term moving averages such as 5-days exponential moving average (DEMA), 10-DEMA, and 13-DEMA. The index has already given a bearish crossover based on MACD and a negative signal on the relative strength index (RSI).
Traders should tread with caution at current levels as index slipped below its crucial 13-DEMA. History suggests that whenever index slipped below this crucial moving average it has managed to bounce back in the next few trading sessions.
Hence, a bounce back cannot be ruled out as the index is trading near crucial support levels, but a close below 9,380 could exert selling pressure, suggest experts.
