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

The market rebounded with half a percent gains on September 19, after losing 3 percent in the previous three trading sessions, as traders await the Federal Reserve’s interest rate decision which is due in the middle of this week.

The BSE Sensex rallied 300 points to 59,141, while the Nifty50 climbed 92 points to 17,622 and formed a decent bullish candlestick pattern on the daily charts.

“A small positive candle was formed on the daily chart with a minor lower shadow. Technically, this pattern indicates a minor upside bounce in the market,” Nagaraj Shetti, Technical Research Analyst at HDFC Securities said.

The Nifty is currently placed within a broader range of 18,000-17,500 levels and it was seen showing a minor upside bounce from the lower range. Hence, any sustainable upside bounce from here could encounter hurdles around 17,750, 17,860 and 18,050 levels.

Monday’s upside bounce could be a cheering factor for the bulls to make a comeback. Further sustainable upmove from here could pull the Nifty towards the 18,000 mark again, he said, adding that any weakness below the support of 17,450 levels could open the next downside towards the 17,100-17,000 levels in the near term.

But there was underperformance in the broader space as the Nifty Midcap 100 index closed flat and the Nifty Smallcap 100 index declined nearly 1 percent.
