“Technically, this pattern indicates a formation of high wave type candle pattern, Normally, such high wave formation after a reasonable decline indicates chances of an upside bounce. The positive chart pattern like higher tops and bottoms is intact as per daily timeframe chart and presently the market is in an attempt of new higher bottom formation. We need confirmation of upside bounce in subsequent sessions to consider this as a higher bottom reversal pattern,” said Nagaraj Shetti, Senior Technical Research Analyst, HDFC Securities.

He believes the short-term trend remains weak, but the market is showing signs of higher bottom formation around 22,200 levels. Confirmation of reversal from here could open short-term upside bounce in the market.

Nifty 50 Prediction

The Nifty 50 index shifted into an upside bounce from the lower levels on Wednesday and closed the day on a flat note.

“Nifty remained volatile throughout the day. However, the short-term trend appeared weak as the index remained below the critical moving average, 21-EMA (Exponential Moving Average), on the daily timeframe. In the near term, the sentiment may continue to weaken as long as it stays below 22,400,” said Rupak De, Senior Technical Analyst, LKP Securities.

According to him, the index might decline towards 22,150 on the downside.
