TRADE SETUP FOR MAR 03
Nifty Short-Term Outlook:
The Nifty has formed a sizable bear candle with a gap above it, indicating the continuation of the downtrend. It broke through the support zone of 22,500-22,400 during the opening trade on Friday, followed by a sharp decline, closing almost 2% lower for the session.
Key support levels are now seen at 21,800-21,500. Staying above this support range is critical for establishing a base between 21,500 and 22,800 after the sharp decline over the past five months.
However, for the downtrend to pause decisively, the index needs to start forming a pattern of higher highs and higher lows on a sustained basis on the daily chart. A clear close above 22,800 would be necessary to signal the beginning of a meaningful recovery.

Nifty: Intraday resistance is at 22,300 followed by 22,430 levels. Conversely, downside support is located at 22,000, followed by 21,870.
