Charts signal more weakness ahead.

Sensex and Nifty are in the firm grip of bears after having fallen nearly 3.8% each since the middle of November. SGX Nifty was hinting at a continuation of weakness today. Chartists too believe there is more weakness ahead and advise against long bets. “The overall chart pattern as per smaller and larger timeframe is weak and more weakness could be in store in the near term. Having declined sharply from the highs, the minor pullback rally from the lows can’t be ruled out in the short term, before showing another round of weakness in the market,” said Nagaraj Shetti, Technical Research  Analyst, HDFC Securities. “Further lower levels to be watched at 17000-16800 in the next few weeks,” he added.
