Last close: 3,768.55
For the index to change its trend from bearish to bullish, it needs to trade above 3,910. Since the trend is negative, the best trading strategy for traders would be to sell on the rise, with an expected target of 3,680.
Furthermore, the price action targets, along with technical indicators like Pivot points and Bollinger bands, show that the confluence levels of support are coming at 3,736 and 3,680.
Therefore, traders should adopt a sell-on-rise strategy below 3,736, as this is expected to be a small support level on hourly charts. If this level is violated, major support is expected around 3,680. It is essential to keep these levels handy while trading.
In conclusion, traders and investors should keep a close eye on the trend and support levels of the Nifty PSU Bank index while making trading decisions. With a bearish trend in place, it is wise to adopt a sell-on-rise strategy.
Last close: 20,777.55
A close below this level would be treated as a breakdown, and the next support levels are expected around 20,636 and 20,425.
Therefore, traders should adopt a sell-on-rise strategy post-breakdown, with a target of 20,425.
In summary, traders should stay cautious and take a disciplined approach in their trading strategies to mitigate risks and capitalise on potential opportunities.
Last close: 18,250
According to the price action theory, the index is expected to have strong support between 18,100-18,050 range. The RSI index has made a double top formation and been underperforming, indicating a potential bearish trend.
Additionally, the MACD is also signaling a bearish trend on the charts. Combining all of these points, the recommended trading strategy for traders would be to sell on any price rise, with a possible price target of 18,100.
