21st Aug 2026 Nifty Report — 114pts down, but neutral

122
Nifty Stance: Neutral

Last week we had a bearish stance, and Nifty fell 114pts (0.47%). A major fall was averted as we defended the 24000 psychological level. This now means Nifty is unable to break out above 24700 and break down below 24000. You won't believe, we are trading at exactly the same level as we were on 15th April 2026, so the wider consolidation continues.

The first thing you can notice from this chart is the slope of the blue and green moving averages. They are negatively sloped, indicating bearishness, but on Friday both have converged and are now moving parallel to the X-axis, indicating a neutral stance.
We expect Nifty to continue defending the 24000 levels next week also, unless there is severe negative geopolitical news from the West Asia war.
