Stock picks of the day: Immediate support for Nifty seen around 11,250-11,300 levels

Any close below 11,250 levels would lead to an extension of the fall towards 200 day SMA which is placed around 11,100 levels.

  

The Nifty fell more than 300 points during the last three days to close at the lowest level since May 16, 2019. So far in July, the Nifty fell by more than 4 percent as foreigners pulled out around $1 billion from Indian markets.

Subdued earnings growth and lack of buying support from abroad also led to a sharp fall in Indian bourses last week.

The Nifty mid-cap and small-cap indices plunged 7.5 percent and 7 percent, respectively, in the same period. The Nifty Small-cap Index breached the crucial triple bottom support of 6,000 during the week and is now inching lower towards the next support of 5,660.

The Nifty breached the crucial trend line support of 11,570 last week, which is expected to interchange its role as resistance. A 200 day EMA in Nifty is currently placed at 11,297 which is likely to act as immediate support.

Far support stands around 11,100 levels which coincide with the 200 day SMA which is placed around 11,130 levels. Oscillators and Indicators on Nifty short term charts have turned bearish.

The Bank Nifty last week breached its 50 and 100-DMA and closed below that. The level of 30,300 has become a strong resistance and unless that is taken out, one should remain bearish in the index.

To conclude, the short-term trend for the Nifty remains bearish until the resistance of 11,600 is crossed decisively. On the downside, immediate support is seen in the vicinity of 11,250-11,300 levels.

Any close below 11,250 levels would lead to an extension of the fall towards 200 day SMA which is placed around 11,100 levels.

In the Bank Nifty, one should remain bearish until the level of 303,00 is taken out decisively. Support for the Bank Nifty stands around 28,800 levels
