Nifty needs to hold yesterday's low of 15,386
The move that was seen on the Nifty from June 17 to June 21 was about 500-600 points on the Nifty. 61.8 percent Fibonacci retracement of that 15,386, which is yesterday’s (June 22, 2022) low that needs to be defended first and foremost for more pain to be avoided in a sense.
Indian equity benchmarks ended a two-day pullback on Wednesday amid weakness across sectors, as nervousness persisted across global markets on steep hikes in COVID-era interest rates and their impact on economic growth.
