Resistance Bites Back: Is the Nifty Heading Lower
Nifty Futures Chart

On the daily charts we can observe that the Nifty has witnessed a sharp decline from the resistance zone 22000 – 22050. Despite multiple attempts the Nifty has been unable to surpass the resistance zone. On the downside the 20-day moving average (21694) has been providing support. The hourly momentum indicator has triggered a negative crossover while the daily is still in buy mode and thus providing divergent signals. This could lead to consolidation from short term perspective. Overall, we expect the consolidation to continue with negative bias.
