Trends on SGX Nifty suggested a positive opening for BSE Sensex and Nifty 50 on Tuesday, as Nifty futures surged in trade. Globally, market participants were eyeing concerns from default of Chinese real estate giant Evergrande. On the back of weak global cues, Indian share market witnessed sell-off in the previous session. On the technical front, the Nifty has confirmed the shooting star pattern on daily chart. “17320-17245 should be treated as key support area whereas 17580-17635 should be seen as resistance levels. First signal of weakness would come only if Nifty slides below its lower range of 17245,” Aprajita Saxena, Research Analyst, Trustline Securities, told Financial Express Online.
