Stock Market Last Week: Technical View
Dhupesh Dhameja, research analyst (derivatives) of SAMCO Securities, said, “The Nifty index wrapped up the week on a turbulent note, forming a shooting star candlestick pattern on the weekly chart. On Friday, the index not only erased the gains of the previous four sessions but also printed an evening star, like formation, reinforcing signs of fatigue. Crucially, Nifty slipped below its psychological mark and created a classic bull trap scenario. The index declined sharply by 213.65 points, closing at 24,870.10, a move that underscores caution among market participants.”
Currently, the index hovers near its critical support zone of 24,800, a confluence of the 50-day and 20-day exponential moving averages (DEMA) along with gap support. With the broader trend turning sideways-to-weak, any attempt to rise is likely to encounter stiff resistance. The index has carved out a key swing high at 25,150, and unless it decisively reclaims this level, selling pressure at higher zones will persist, he said.
“Price action suggests a cautious undertone, with immediate resistance shifting lower to the 25,000-25,100 band. As long as the Nifty remains range-bound between 24,800 and 25,150, choppy to muted sessions are likely. A breakout beyond these zones, however, may set the stage for directional momentum. Meanwhile, the daily RSI continues to hover just above 50, reflecting a persistent sideways bias,” Dhameja added.

The government on Thursday kept petrol and high-speed diesel (HSD) prices unchanged at Rs253.17 per litre and Rs257.08 per litre respectively, for the coming fortnight, starting from January 16.
This decision was notified in a press release issued by the Petroleum Division.
Earlier, it was expected that the prices of all petroleum products would go down by up to Rs4.50 per litre (over 1pc each) today in view of variation in the international market.
Petrol is primarily used in private transport, small vehicles, rickshaws, and two-wheelers, and directly impacts the budgets of the middle and lower-middle classes.
Meanwhile, most of the transport sector runs on HSD. Its price is considered inflationary, as it is mostly used in heavy transport vehicles, trains, and agricultural engines such as trucks, buses, tractors, tube wells, and threshers, and particularly adds to the prices of vegetables and other eatables.
The government is currently charging about Rs100 per litre on petrol and about Rs97 per litre on diesel.

One of Britain’s most prolific rail fare dodgers could face jail after admitting dozens of travel offences.
Charles Brohiri, 29, pleaded guilty to travelling without buying a ticket a total of 112 times over a two-year period, Westminster Magistrates’ Court heard.
He could be ordered to pay more than £18,000 in unpaid fares and legal costs, the court was told.
He will be sentenced next month.
District Judge Nina Tempia warned Brohiri “could face a custodial sentence because of the number of offences he has committed”.
He pleaded guilty to 76 offences on Thursday.
It came after he was convicted in his absence of 36 charges at a previous hearing.
During Thursday’s hearing, Judge Tempia dismissed a bid by Brohiri’s lawyers to have the 36 convictions overturned.
They had argued the prosecutions were unlawful because they had not been brought by a qualified legal professional.
But Judge Tempia rejected the argument, saying there had been “no abuse of this court’s process”.
