Indian equity
benchmarks
kept swinging between the red and green zones throughout the volatile
session and ended flat with a negative bias on Thursday, amid weak global
trends.

The Nifty50 has
formed a small body candle on the daily chart with upper and lower shadows,
according to Nagaraj Shetti, Technical Research Analyst at HDFC Securities. He views the absence
of sharp weakness near 15,800 as favourable to the bulls. However, a decisive
move below 15,600 is likely to negate the bullish bet and could result in sharp
weakness down to 15,200, Shetti warned.
