Technical Analysis Points Towards Potential Decline

According to Nagaraj Shetti, Technical Research Analyst at HDFC Securities, a bearish trend might be emerging. A bearish engulfing-type candle pattern, though not a classical one, was observed on the daily chart. The false upside breakout beyond a crucial overhead resistance suggests a possible slide in Nifty towards the immediate support levels of 19,300 to 19,250. Any upward movement is likely to face resistance around 19,550.
