Nifty50, which reclaimed 12,000, failed to hold onto the crucial support and closed with losses of over 1 percent for the week ended October 16. Back home, the stimulus packages unveiled by the government also failed to cheer investor sentiment.
Experts are of the view that as long as Nifty50 stays below 11,900-12,030, consolidation is likely to continue. On the downside, supports exist at 11200.

“The Nifty 50 recorded a big bearish candle this week, which is a sign of market trading at overbought levels in the short-term and loss of control by the bulls,” Umesh Mehta, Head of Research, Samco Group told Moneycontrol.
“The index has been trading with heavy gains and is struggling to hold 11,900 levels. Hence, 11850/11900 is likely to remain an important resistance zone in the short term,” he said.
Mehta further added that on the downside 11200 is an important support as it coincides with the channel support on the weekly chart. Investors should adopt a buy-on-dips strategy only in quality names.
