In the previous technical journal, we suggested that the RBI event would be a non-event. The central bank left policy rates unchanged and also retained its stance of focussing on the withdrawal of accommodation.
The Nifty 50 ended flat at 22513.70 points, and on daily charts, it suggests that the index is consolidating after a sharp run-up, which is a healthy sign. The index remained sideways throughout the session, reflecting a pause in the market trend, following the formation of a hanging man pattern.
The sentiment may continue to remain sideways due to the lack of a directional breakout or pattern formation.
It turned out to be a muted session on Friday as Nifty oscillated in a narrow range and ended almost unchanged. The recent consolidation in Nifty amid weak global cues indicates time-wise correction and traders should maintain a positive bias until the Nifty holds 22,200 level.

Summary - Overall
A quiet start is expected to the new week; the levels of 22600 and 22790 would act as potential resistance levels. Supports come in at 22380 and 22100 levels. The trading range is likely to stay modest over the coming week.
A spinning top occurred on the candles. Such candles typically have small real bodies because of little difference between the open and close price. They show the indecisiveness of the market participants.
Such formations, if they occur near the highs often have the potential to stall the upmoves.
The technical analysis of the weekly charts shows the markets being in a uptrend. However, that being said, the markets are also exhibiting signs of fatigue at higher levels.
They are also showing a minor loss of internal strength as they mark incremental highs along with minor negative divergences.
All and all, while the trend continues to stay intact, there are possibilities of markets staying under some ranged consolidation. The nearest support for the Nifty exists at 20-week MA which is placed at 21691.
Overall. we are likely to see some risk-off setup in the markets. We can expect defensive pockets like Pharma, IT, FMCG, etc., to offer better relative strength than the others.
However, the banking space is likely to stay resilient as well. It is strongly recommended that unless a strong breakout is achieved with Nifty moving past the 22550-22600 zone with a thrust, all up moves must be used to protect prots at higher levels. Low levels of VIX too remain a concern and may infuse some spikes in volatility.
A cautious approach with one eye on the protection of gains is advised for the coming week.
Thanks for reading.
