The below Daily time frame shows that the Nifty 50’s downtrend is headed towards the nearest support level of 17,400-17,475. If the index breaks that support, it may get down to the secondary support range of 16,850-17,000 and below in case of a stronger correction. Currently, we believe the market will be mostly pessimistic and stay range-bound in the downward direction.
Price target of 17,000
