Nifty witnessed smart upside recovery from the lows on Wednesday after showing a deep cut in the early-mid part of the session and settle the day lower by 18 points. Nifty opened on a positive note and slipped into sharp weakness soon after the opening. The market has started to recover from the swing low of 23496 levels and the upside recovery extended in the mid to later part of the session.

A small red candle was formed on the daily chart with long lower shadow. Technically, this market action indicates a formation of ‘hammer’ type candle pattern. Normally, such hammer formation after a reasonable decline calls for an impending trend reversal on the upside post confirmation.

Though, Nifty placed below the crucial 200day EMA at 23700 levels, there is an absence of sharp break down below this key support. This 200 DEMA has offered significant trend reversal on upside in the past.

The short term trend of Nifty remains weak. But the smart upside recovery from near 23500 levels is indicating chances of an upside bounce in the coming sessions. A sustainable move above the hurdle of 23800 levels could confirm upside bounce in the market. Immediate support is placed at 23496 levels.
