TRADE SETUP FOR FEB 28
Nifty Short-Term Outlook:
The Nifty has formed a small bearish candle with a lower high and lower low, indicating a continuation of the ongoing corrective decline.
Post breakdown below the critical support zone of 22,800, the index has extended its decline in line with expectations and is now approaching the key support zone of 22,400-22,500.
The near-term bias remains bearish, and a breach below 22,400 could trigger a sharp sell-off towards 22,200-22,000 levels. However, with both daily and weekly stochastic oscillators hovering in extreme oversold territory, holding above 22,400 may lead to a consolidation phase within the broader range of 22,400-23,000.
A definitive pause in the ongoing downtrend would require the index to start forming a higher high and higher low on a sustained basis, with a decisive close above 23,000 needed to signal the beginning of a meaningful recovery.

Nifty: Intraday resistance is at 22,590 followed by 22,680 levels. Conversely, downside support is located at 22,400, followed by 22,280.
