Nifty moved in the range of 100 points throughout the day and respected the direct support zone but failed to cross high the previous day, indicating that follow-up was lost in a higher zone.
The index forms a bearish candle and the inner blades on a daily scale and continues to form higher lows than the last two sessions.
Now, Nifty must hold above 15,800 to watch the step up towards 15,962 and 16,000, while on the downside, support is at 15,750 and 15,700.
