Sun Pharma has support around 370-390 but it seems unlikely that the stock will hold on to that level.
The Nifty50 closed in the red for the 9th consecutive day in a row on May 13 to post its longest losing run in the past 8 years. The index lost over 600 points in the last 9 sessions, which pushed it below the crucial support level of 100-days EMA as well as 11,200 levels.
The final tally on D-Street – the S&P BSE Sensex plunged 372 points to close at 37,090 while the Nifty50 fell 130 points to close at 11,148.
Indian markets witnessed a rangebound trade in the first half of the trading session but bears soon took control and pushed the index in deep red in the second half.
These four factors weighed on D-Street: a) on-going tensions between the US & China kept investors on the edge across Asian markets, b) weak economic data as well as, and c) disappointing results from India Inc, d) In terms of technicals, a break below 100-days exponential moving averages followed by 11200 levels added to selling pressure. The next target for the index is placed around its 100-days EMA placed around 11035 levels. The near term resistance zone, on the other hand, shifts lower to 11280-11300.

After closing below 100-days EMA, the next support for the index is placed around 200-days EMA and resistance is placed around 11300 levels on the upside, suggest experts.
“Technically, with Nifty moving further down, the short-term trend remains down. The Nifty could now head towards the next major supports of 11024, which corresponds to the 200-day EMA. Any pullback rallies could find resistance at 11300,” Subash Gangadharan, Technical Analyst, HDFC Securities, told Moneycontrol.
“The recent selloff seems to be more due to weak global equity sentiments on account of the ongoing trade war between USA and China. Given this scenario, we recommend investors to remain on the sidelines till we see evidence of a new technical uptrend,” he said.
We have collated technical outlook on stocks which moved the most on D-Street and what should investors do now:
