Trade setup for today: Top 15 things to know before the opening bell

The market started off on a strong note but as the day progressed, participants preferred to book some profit, and finally the benchmark indices closed on the day’s high on September 9. Overall, the markets remained higher for a major part of the session.

The BSE Sensex rose more than 100 points to 59,793, while the Nifty50 rose 34 points to 17,833, and formed a Bearish Belt Hold kind of pattern on the daily charts. The index has seen the breakout of a small downward sloping resistance trend line adjoining August 19 and September 6, and since then maintained an uptrend.

“The price action since August 19 appears to be unfolding like a ‘Flat’ in Elliot wave parlance, with three moves on the downside, and another three in the counter-trend direction.

“If this observation holds true then sooner than later a downswing should unfold, with eventual targets below 17,166 levels, though confirmations are awaited in this regard,” Mazhar Mohammad, founder & chief market strategist at Chartviewindia said.

For the index to gain momentum and favour the bulls, it needs to close above 17,992 and then 18,114. Till then, bears can make a comeback anytime, he said. The broader markets also closed higher, with the Nifty Midcap 100 and Smallcap 100 indices rising 0.35 percent and 0.06 percent respectively.
