NSE Nifty 50 technical outlook
The index began the truncated week with a destructive hole and regularly drifted southward as an unscheduled price hike announcement by RBI adopted by Fed price hike dented the market sentiment. As a consequence, opposite to our expectation Nifty breached key assist of 16800 accelerating additional decline amid weak world cues and spike in volatility.

In earlier events, throughout CY18-20, after approaching such decrease studying under 20, markets have witnessed technical pullback.
Thus, we advise merchants to chorus from creating aggressive brief positions within the present extremely risky state of affairs. Instead, one ought to capitalize dips to assemble portfolios in high quality shares in a staggered method. Meanwhile, speedy upsides are capped at breakdown space of 16800
Historically, over the previous 20 years, on 16 out of 20 events regardless of a transitory breach (not better than 5%) of the 52-week EMA (at the moment 16600) index has generated respectable returns in subsequent 3 month and 6 months. In the present state of affairs 5% from 200 days EMA will mature at 15700.
Key monitorable in coming weeks will likely be cool off in home and world volatility which has inverse correlation with equities. Thus cool off in volatility coupled with oversold circumstances will pave the way in which for technical pullback.

We consider extended consolidation from hereon would assist the weekly stochastic oscillator to chill off amid ongoing Q4FY22 incomes season. Going forward, the formation of upper high-low on the weekly chart would affirm pause in downward momentum
