“Nifty is currently placed at the immediate resistance of the down sloping trend line around 19,650 - 19,700 levels. The negative chart pattern like lower tops and bottoms is intact as per daily timeframe chart and current chart pattern indicates a possibility of a new lower top of the sequence. But, we need confirmation of a lower top reversal pattern for bearish impact on the market," said Nagaraj Shetti, Technical Research Analyst, HDFC Securities.
He believes the short term trend of Nifty remains choppy.
