Will bears drag Nifty below 18000 or bulls continue momentum? 5 things to know before market opening bell

Indian equity markets are likely to open lower on Wednesday, hinted SGX Nifty. Nifty futures traded 298 points, or 1.65% lower at 17,794 on the Singapore Exchange, signaling that BSE Sensex, NSE Nifty 50 were headed for a gap-down start. “The current market buoyancy globally, including in India, is based on the expectation that inflation has peaked along with softening crude prices. We believe that, to an extent, the expectation of inflation peaking is right, but one will have to keep an eye on energy prices in Europe & US with the onset of winter, which can re-ignite the inflation fire. The current momentum in the equity markets can sustain, but we would advise investors to raise some cash at the current levels, which can be deployed if the markets correct on either rate hikes or energy prices moving up again,” said Naveen Kulkarni, Chief Investment Officer, Axis Securities PMS.

Nifty technical view: “A small positive candle was formed on the daily chart with minor upper and lower shadow and with opening upside gap. Technically, this market action signal a formation of spinning top type of candle pattern at the highs. Normally, a spinning top formation after a reasonable upmove or at the hurdle could be considered as a reversal pattern post confirmation. Hence, any weakness from here or from highs could confirm top reversal pattern. However, a sustainable move above this patterns high at 18088 levels is likely to negate the bearish implication. The short term trend of Nifty continues to be positive amidst a range movement,” said Nagaraj Shetti, Technical Research Analyst, HDFC Securities.

Levels to watch for: The Nifty is trading with higher high & higher low formations from the last 5 trading sessions on daily charts suggesting strength in the counter. “The support for Nifty has shifted around 17900 levels while on the upside, 18180 may act as an immediate hurdle. On the other hand, Bank Nifty has support at 40000 levels while resistance at 41400 levels. Overall, till the time nifty holds the 18000 level, it’s looking strong on charts crossing above 18180 marks will open the gate for 18400-18500 levels. FMCG stocks look positive on charts; one can accumulate on dips,” said Palak Kothari, Senior Technical Analyst, Choice Broking
