Likewise, the broader indices were under pressure. The Nifty Midcap 50 dropped 1.76 percent, while the Small cap 50 dropped 2.83 percent. 

Furthermore, the Nifty is trading below its 20-day, 50-day, and 200-day simple moving averages.

The Nifty trading range for tomorrow is 15250 to 15450, with a negative bias.

As noted in yesterday’s blog, because of heavy selling during the week, the RSI and MACD indicators are reading low, showing the possibility of a relief rally next week.

Though the market was up today, you cannot call it a relief rally.

Because there is no major economic news or data release this week, indices may remain volatile for the rest of the week.
