March 20 Forecast
The index remained volatile ahead of the Fed’s policy meeting, with negative sentiment as it closed below the previous consolidation low and critical moving average. A further fall is expected below the hourly swing low around 21700, with resistance at 21900-22000 on the higher end.
The Nifty experienced a volatile trading day, opening with gains but losing ground. It closed the day slightly up by 22 points, with support around the 78.6% Fibonacci retracement level. The hourly momentum suggests exhaustion of selling pressure, with signs of positive divergence and a positive crossover.
The daily candle has taken the form of a Doji pattern, suggesting indecision among market participants regarding direction.
This could lead to consolidation and a range of 21700 – 22000. Bank Nifty closed the day negatively for the ninth consecutive session, finding support at the lower end of the rising channel and a daily lower Bollinger band at 45800.
The hourly momentum indicator has a positive crossover, indicating a buy signal, and a recovery to 46800 – 46950 over the next few trading sessions.
