According to market watchers, Nifty has broken the steep rising trend line. On the hourly chart, it is possibly forming a flag pattern.

“40HEMA and lower end of flag pattern are almost at the same level. 40HEMA at 23390 will be an important support level to watch out for on the way down,” said Vikram Kasat, Head-Advisory, PL Capital.

“The upper end of the flag pattern is at 23,620 Breaking out from the flag pattern will be an indication of a bullish continuation pattern where the Nifty can retest its recent high of 23,896 and continue its bullish trend,” Kasat added.
