He added, “The index witnessed buying support as it approached the swing low of 17524 & recovered to some extent towards the end of the session. The daily upper Bollinger Band, which has become flat, is likely to maintain pressure on the higher side.”
The daily momentum indicator has formed a bearish hook, suggesting weakness in the short term. Thus the Nifty is expected to witness short-term consolidation in the range of 17400-17950, Ratnaparkhi explains.
Global markets witnessed weakness as investors continued to remain cautious over the inconclusive German election along with Chinese property group Evergrande’s ongoing debt crisis and eyed the potential impact of a widening power shortage in China, said Siddhartha Khemka, Head - Retail Research, Motilal Oswal Financial Services Ltd.
Khemka further added, “Energy prices rocket to new all-time highs while Brent is at 3-year high which is making investors nervous about its impact on the economy. All this along with testimony of US Fed Chairman on US economy in front of Congress pushed 10-year Treasury bond yields above 1.50% for the first time in two months.”

Tech stocks usually fall when bond yields are rising because they have higher valuations and are most reliant on future growth, which can be curtailed by higher interest rates, the report further said.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 569.84 points, or 1.63%, to 34,299.53, the S&P 500 lost 90.5 points, or 2.04%, to 4,352.61 and the Nasdaq Composite dropped 423.29 points, or 2.83%, to 14,546.68.
