After showing a range bound movement in the last couple of weeks, Nifty slipped into a sharp weakness on the back drop of rising escalation between India and Pakistan on Friday and closed the day lower by 265 points amidst high volatility. After opening with a negative note, the market later shifted into a range bound action in the mid to later part of the session with an attempt of upside recovery in between.

A small green candle was formed on the daily chart at the lows with long upper shadow. Technically, this market action indicates an attempt of downside breakout of the range movement.

Nifty on the weekly chart formed a bearish engulfing type candle pattern (not a classical one) this week after a sustainable upside in the last four weeks. This is negative indication and signals a formation of crucial reversal pattern on the downside as per long term chart.

The geo-political tensions between India and Pakistan is weighing heavy on the market. Further weakness from here could find strong cluster supports around 23800-23600 levels (weekly 10/20 period EMA and support as per change in polarity) and there is a possibility of an upside bounce occurring from the lows. Immediate resistance is placed at 24200.
