For the last couple of weeks, the index had been trading in a narrow range but closer to its all-time high levels and on Tuesday, Nifty formed a bearish candlestick covering this range.
It was a volatile start to the New Year 2018, with the sudden sell-off in the last hour of the trade, after bulls had been in control for most of the trading session on Tuesday.
Still, market breadth was positive with an advance-decline ratio of 5:4 and broader indices closed flat-to-positive outperforming benchmarks.
After a strong 2017, Nifty has got off on a negative note with the index losing 0.9 percent to close at 10436 levels on an opening day.
For the last couple of weeks, the index had been trading in a narrow range but closer to its all-time high levels and on Tuesday, Nifty formed a bearish candlestick covering this range.
Now, it needs to be seen if there is any follow-through action on the downside that could lead to short-term pressure in the market.
Hence, breaking below 10400 levels, the index may decline initially towards 10320 and then 10230 levels. Also, INDIA VIX moved up by 5.39 to 13.35 and has been inching up in last one week from low of 11.6 level.
Further, the rise in volatility could be the cause of concern for bulls. On the upside, Nifty has overhead resistance at 10550 levels. It needs to cross above 10550 levels for it to rally towards 10700 and then 10840 odd levels on the upside.
