How will the Nifty perform next week?

Nagaraj Shetty, Senior Technical Research Analyst at HDFC Securities, said that the Nifty weakened on the weekly chart after a doji -like candle pattern last week. We have seen a negative inverted pattern in the last three weekly candles. Therefore, there may be further weakness in the market.

The short -term trend of Nifty has been weak and improvement at the bottom has gained momentum. The Nifty may fall to the next support level around 22350 in the near future when going below 22800 levels. From here, any pullback rally may face resistance around the level of 23150.
