Markets Ahead
Nifty closed with gains for the second day. But on a weekly basis, it’s in the red. The intraday structure showed some power today, but I think the bigger picture is to the downside.

Nifty has already broken a trendline in the weekly chart. But it will be better to watch the 16,750-800 zone and 16,450 level in Nifty.
