Nifty futures were trading 23.50 points or 0.15 per cent down at 15,718 on Singaporean Exchange.

BSE Sensex and Nifty 50 were likely to open in the negative territory on Tuesday, as suggested by trends in SGX Nifty in early trade. Nifty futures were trading 23.50 points or 0.15 per cent down at 15,718 on Singaporean Exchange. In the previous session, Sensex plunged 1.10 per cent to 52,553 points while the NSE’s Nifty ended 1.07 per cent lower at 15,752. Technical analysts said that although the Nifty survived at 15700, the closing level was not encouraging. In addition, the market failed to close above the support levels of 20 days SMA and EMA that was around 15785 and 15765 levels respectively. “On Tuesday, the market must hold above the levels of 15600. On the dismissal of the same, the Nifty would fall to 15500 and 15450 levels. We need Nifty/Sensex to cross the levels of 15840 / 52850 levels for the bullishness in the market. Our advice is to buy in select stocks with a medium-term view,” Shrikant Chouhan, Executive Vice President, Equity Technical Research at Kotak Securities, said.
