Experts are of the view that the Nifty50 could consolidate near 17,500 levels on the upside amid a rise in India VIX so far this week, a gauge of volatility in the stock market.
The formation of a broadening wedge pattern puts an end to the blistering series of up moves, but not necessarily the uptrend as such, suggest experts.
“We have stepped into a consolidation period with ample opportunities for traders on either side, especially given the rise in VIX,” Anand James – Chief Market Strategist at
, said.
“Favoured view also expects upside attempts to slow down on approach to 17,450-570 region and downside attempts to slow down on approach to the 17,220 vicinity. Directional moves may wait for 17570-17160range to be broken,” he added.
