After the good green candle on Wednesday, it was interesting to see how the monthly expiry will affect the market.
It was interesting to see NIFTY open with a gap-up and not break 19,800 on the upside. And once 19,600 was broken, a further fall was expected.
Now that the ‘crazy’ monthly expiry is done, it would be interesting to see how October turns out.
If we are looking at the Fib retracement levels, NIFTY has broken a lot of support levels. The support level to watch out for is around 19,420 and the next important resistance to look for is 19,720.
Even though we expected another trend, even this week’s trend was defined by how last Friday performed.
So let’s watch out for how the market turns out today to get a view of next week!
