📝 Trading Script for Blog
Market Mood: The Nifty witnessed a sharp correction led by banking and financial stocks, with volatility spiking. While IT provided minor relief, the overall sentiment remains bearish.
Actionable Setup:
Entry Zone (Long Rebound Trade): 22,150–22,100 (oversold RSI, support zone).
Stop Loss: Below 22,000 (psychological level).
Target 1: 22,400 (immediate resistance).
Target 2: 22,550 (next supply zone).
Rationale: Oversold RSI and elevated VIX suggest panic selling may be near exhaustion. A technical rebound is possible if support holds. However, traders should remain cautious given sectoral weakness in banks and midcaps.
