What should traders do? Here’s what analysts said:

On the daily chart, we can observe that Nifty, after falling for three consecutive trading sessions, has reached the 22,200 mark where multiple support parameters in the form of a gap area as well as the Fibonacci retracement levels were placed. The bulls were able to defend the support on a closing basis. A follow-through buying interest can further strengthen this support. The hourly momentum indicator has triggered a bullish crossover, which is a buy signal. Considering that prices have reached a crucial support zone and are showing signs of recovery we shall expect a relief rally till 22,415-22,500 over the next few trading sessions.

Nifty remained volatile throughout the day. However, the short-term trend appeared weak as the index remained below the critical moving average 21-EMA on the daily timeframe. In the near term, the sentiment may continue to weaken as long as it stays below 22,400. On the downside, the index might decline towards 22,150.
