Top 15 things to know before Opening Bell Trade ,Setup On Monday.

Tracking weakness in global markets, Indian indices witnessed a knee-jerk reaction which took benchmark indices to a four-month low. The BSE Sensex suffered a biggest single-day loss (in absolute terms) since August 24, 2015.

The Sensex plunged 1,448.37 points or 3.64 percent to 38,297.29, the lowest level since October 14, 2019, while the Nifty50 shed 431.50 points or 3.71 percent to 11,201.80, the lowest level since October 7, 2019.Experts favour waiting for some consolidation before initiating long positions and say if the index breaks the next crucial support of 11,111, then it could slip past the psychologically important 11,000-mark.

“The Nifty is approaching certain critical long-term averages on longer time-frame charts from where it took to support and staged a rally after major corrections in the past. Hence, in the near term, crucial support to watch out will be 11,111, which should not be violated at least on a weekly closing basis. The next logical support of the entire rally from the lows of 10,670–12,430 is placed around 11,022 levels,” Mazhar Mohammad, Chief Strategist – Technical Research & Trading Advisory, Chartviewindia.in, told Moneycontrol.
