Today morning, Shanghai is marginally higher, Nikkei is flat but Hang Seng is down half a percent. SGX Nifty is suggesting about 25 points lower start for our market. At the risk of repeating, we have been mentioning that the 34-week moving average for Nifty is placed around 8440, a decisive crossover of which is required for a fresh upmove. For past five sessions, Nifty has been struggling to cross this level decisively. Today being the weekly close, is would be interesting to see if the benchmark is able to cross this hurdle or moves further away from it. If 8440 is taken out decisively, 8560, the 61.8% retracement level of the 8970-7893 fall, would be the next target to eye. 8370 continues to be immediate support on the hourly chart below which 8300-8275 would be the next support area.
