Commenting on today’s fall in Nifty, Head of Retail Research at HDFC Securities, Deepak Jasani, said, “Global equities fell as the 10-year yield on US Treasuries hit 5% for the first time since 2007 and as investors worried that the war between Israel and Hamas could turn into a bigger Middle Eastern conflict.
Nifty showed a downside breakout, falling below the 19334 support. The midcap index fell to its lowest in two months. A long bear candle was formed on the daily charts, which could be a resistance in the next upmove. Risk-off sentiments seem to be prevalent based on the adverse advance-decline ratio. Nifty could now, on a break of 19223 level, head towards 18840 while on up moves, 19480 could provide resistance.”
