Yesterday, Nifty opened flat and turned negative in the opening hour itself. It traded in a very narrow range and found support near its 21-DMA. Yesterday’s action was considered a distribution day as the volume was higher compared with the previous session.

Overall action in the broader market was also weak. But, there were pockets of strength (midcap IT and power stocks), which made fresh highs. On the sectoral front, Nifty FMCG and Pharma each closed around 50bps higher. On the flip side, Nifty Bank, Metal, and Auto closed 0.9–1.2% lower.

The distribution day count is currently elevated to four. If the index falls further, adds a distribution day, and breaches its key moving averages, we may change the market status to an Uptrend Under Pressure. Focus on quality ideas emerging out of sound bases with RS line at or near new highs while reducing exposure to stocks breaking below key support levels.
