Nifty 50 Weakens as 100-DMA Becomes Key Recovery Level
The Nifty 50 is a group of major stocks used to track the market.
It has fallen for four weeks in a row.
More trading activity during the fall suggests that investors were selling more heavily.
The index is now below several important average-price levels.
Its current position shows that the earlier upward momentum has weakened.
Analysts are watching the 100-DMA, currently at 24,028, for signs of recovery.
If the index falls below 23,780–23,800, the decline could extend toward 23,600.
Wockhardt is performing better technically and could rise if it stays above Rs.
2,100.
The Nifty 50 declined for a fourth consecutive week and closed below the previous week’s low.
Trading volume reached a five-week high, suggesting intensified distribution during the decline.
The index fell below several major moving averages, including the 20-week, 30-week weighted, 8-EMA, 20-DMA, 50-DMA and 100-DMA.
A sustained move above the 100-DMA at 24,028 is considered necessary for recovery, while 23,780–23,800 is the next downside zone.
Wockhardt broke out of a weekly triangular pattern, with potential upside toward Rs. 2,220–2,300 if it sustains above Rs. 2,100.
