Index trend and stocks in action February 19, 2019

The Nifty made a slightly higher opening, and within no time, the index erased all the gains as selling pressure intensified as the day progressed. In the end, Nifty ended the day down by 0.78 per cent and extended its fall for the seventh session in a row. The price action formed a sizeable bear candle. In the coming session, the level 10,620 would be an immediate support and it would be important for the index to keep its head above this support level to witness any pull-back, which remains much overdue. However, a breach of this support level would result in the extension of the correction and the index may re-test the swing low of January, which is placed at 10,584. Meanwhile, on the upside, the level of 10,790 is likely to act as an immediate resistance.
