OUTLOOK

Today morning Asian markets are trading flat to modestly lower and SGX Nifty is suggesting about 10 points higher start for our market.

Readers would recall that we have been saying that 8243, the 61.8% retracement level of the entire 9119-6826 fall, is an important hurdle to eye, a decisive crossover, preferably on a weekly basis, is required for fresh upmove.

Nifty managed to close above 8243 on Tuesday and Wednesday but plunged sharply yesterday to 8185 before closing at 8204.

8184, the low made yesterday, which also coincides with the immediate previous bottom on the hourly chart, is the immediate support, a breach of which will generate a sell on the hourly chart and would pave the way for the further correction. 8074, the 38.2% retracement level of the recent 7716-8295 upmove, would be the downside target to eye in that case, followed by 8005, the 50% retracement level.


Traders can exit trading longs and initiate short positions below 8184, keeping a stop loss of 8240, which is the immediate hurdle on the hourly chart.
