Trade Setup for Wednesday: Top 15 things to know before Opening Bell

Nagaraj Shetty of HDFC Securities said the Nifty could face resistance around 12,050 levels and any downward correction from the highs is unlikely to damage the near term uptrend status of the market.

The market managed to end at record closing high for third consecutive session amid a positive trend in Asian peers on May 28.


The BSE Sensex rose 66.44 points to close at 39,749.73 while the Nifty 50 gained four points to 11,928.75, forming a 'Hanging Man' candle on daily charts.

"A small negative candle was formed today with long lower shadow. Technically, this pattern signals a consolidation at the highs after a smart upside bounce in the last couple of sessions," Nagaraj Shetty - Technical Research Analyst, HDFC Securities told Moneycontrol.

He said the overall trend remains positive, the Nifty could face resistance around 12,050 levels and any downward correction from the highs is unlikely to damage the near term uptrend status of the market.

A Hanging Man is a bearish reversal candlestick pattern which is usually formed at the end of an uptrend or at the top (around 771-point rally from its recent low of 11,157 recorded on May 15). In a perfect 'Hanging Man' pattern either there will be a small upper shadow or no upper shadow at all, a small body and long lower shadow.

The broader markets underperformed frontliners with the Nifty Midcap and Smallcap indices ending flat with a negative bias.
