The heavy sell-off in the market continued for yet another session on March 7 as the benchmark indices as well as broader markets corrected more than 2 percent, dented by growth and inflation concerns. In commodities market, oil prices jumped to a 13-year high amid a fear of possible ban by US and allies on Russian oil and natural gas.
The BSE Sensex tanked 1,491 points or 2.74 percent to 52,843, while the Nifty50 corrected 382 points or 2.35 percent to 15,863 and formed Doji candle on the daily charts.
"Normally, a formation of such Doji patterns after a reasonable upmoves or down moves could be considered as an impending reversal pattern post confirmation. Hence, there is a possibility of an upside bounce in the short term," says Nagaraj Shetti, Technical Research Analyst at HDFC Securities.
He further says the short term trend of Nifty continues to be weak. "The last hour upside recovery of Monday could bring some hopes of pullback rally in the short term. A sustainable upside bounce is expected from there or from the lows of 15,700-15,500 levels in the next few sessions."
