Considering the candle structure over the past three weeks, our analysis reflects a sharp bearish reversal and a rapid change in sentiment, although this is not unexpected considering the previous excessive overbought conditions near the 120,000 point level. In the short term, the index trades in a high bearish momentum phase which would is likely to see transition to oversold followed a by a minor rebound.
