It opened with a huge down gap and went down further and finally ended the day with a whopping loss of 460.35 points. As apprehended finally volatility has taken it toll and it declined sharply today. Please note that the gap it created today is still there and if it makes an effort to fill the gap in next 4-5 trading session, which is technically possible then it can come up to 21969.80, but if it fails to fill the gap in the stipulated time then the chances of filling the gap will recede for the time being. It is important to mention here that the gap filling threat on the weekly chart has faded out for now but please note that eventually it will fill the gap someday, which please note.

The technical setup got a severe jolt today as it closed well below its most critical & important points of 21801.45---21731.40 & 21727.75 and to keep the up momentum going in the year 2024 it has to sustain above these points on the closing basis else it may head down, sustained break below 21801.45 could be a warning and alert sign and sustained break below 21727.75 could be an exit sign from the long trade, which please note. Furthermore today it slipped into very short, short & deep short correction mode as it close below its threshold point of 21964.73---21853.38 & 21804.45(figure may change)please note that break below 21568.23 & 21348.58 (figure may change) will push it into medium and long correction mode for its few months rise and sustained break below 20222.45 could be an extreme alert point and then correction may further deepen and can last longer. It is in deep short correction mode but the long term uptrend is still intact as of now. It is important to mention here that its long pullback threshold points is at 21685.84(figure may change) and if it moves above it and sustain on the closing basis then it could give a meaningful up move and hope of the continuation of the up move will be alive, else correction may continue with very short relief rallies. 

It is very important to mention here that four out of five important technical indicators are negative now on the daily chart and indicates that it could drag it down to much lower levels in coming days, furthermore chart setup has shaken with today’s fall, it fell below its short term moving averages also and the price action was also terribly bad, all together situation is highly concerning and further fall looks inevitable, therefore please note that if it fails to stage a sharp recovery in a shortest possible time and moves above some of the key points as mentioned above and sustains then the fall is likely to continue. In view of the overall observation it is suggested to adopt sell on the rise strategy or sell on the price breakdown till visible sign of correction completion emerges. However long trade can also be tried at the most critical support points with strict short stop losses for pullback gains, but it could be a risky affair mind you. 

Moving up from here it may face strong resistance at 21583.75---21593---21685.84---21727.75----21731.40----21769.60---21801.45---21834.45---21905---21989----22009.41---22124.15---22220----22459---22478(figure may change) and it can correct at any of these points and then may resume the up move again or it may exhaust the up move at any of these points also and may head down. 

Similarly moving down from here its important support points could be at 21550.50---21448.65---21415---21287---21248---21206---21089---21040----20976.80----20769.50(figures may change), please note that it can bounce back from any of these points and may resume the up move again but break sustained break below 21448.65 may trigger fresh fall and sustained break below 20976.80 & 20769.50 may accelerate the fall. 

IMPORTANT NOTE: -- AS APPREHENDED YESTERDAY IT SLIPPED INTO CORRECTION MODE TODAY AND IF IT DOES NOT STAGE A SHRP BOUNCE BACK IN NEXT 2-3 DAYS THEN CORRECTION IS LIKELY TO DEEPEN.

TRADING TIPS:--

1. Safe traders can try long trade only if it closes above its pullback threshold point of 21685.84 and sustain, avoid long trade on decline for the time being. But aggressive traders can try long trade on sharp decline near 21448 with a stop loss of 21400. Please note that long trade in corrective mode could be a risky affair but can be tried at extreme critical support points with strict stop loss for pullback gains.

2. It is in the long term uptrend therefore short trade in general could be a highly risky affair, but it has slipped into deep short corrective mode, therefore short trade can also be attempted on reasonable rise or on price breakdown for intraday corrective gains but with extreme caution and alert. Short trade can be tried on the rise near or within the range of 21730--- 21750 with a stop loss of 21790 or sell below 21550 with a stop loss of 21650. It could be a risky trade but worth trying for intraday corrective gains.

NOTE: - If it opens up with huge gap up then wait for it to settle down before initiating long position, but short trade can be attempted on huge gap up if it is near the selling point and vice versa . Since, it is showing volatility so any type of trade should be squared off during the day, if you don’t have reasonable profit margin in the trade. Day squaring off is strongly suggested in any case.
