News of the day
Support seen at 4,900 level
The Nifty closed below 5,000 on Friday due to unwinding of long positions and fresh shorts build-up by foreign institutional investors (FIIs). We had indicated in our December 10 report that the index might not hold the 5,000 level in near future. Technically, the market is trading in a bearish triangle pattern and fresh correction is expected next week with strong support around the 4,900 level. The daily Relative Strength Index has drifted below the mean level of 50, indicating caution. Any failure to rise from the current level could see the index drift lower to test the 4,940 level.
