“The selling pressure was absorbed near the lower channel line from where the bulls got some breathing space towards the end of the session. As a result of the steep decline, the hourly momentum indicator has been pushed into the oversold zone & has developed a positive divergence over there,” Gaurav Ratnaparkhi, Head of Technical Research, Sharekhan by BNP Paribas, said.

“Thus, unless Monday’s low of 17280 breaks, the Nifty can attempt a bounce to test its key hourly moving averages near 17700,” he said.
