Indian market witnessed six straight sessions of decline for the first time since March 2018. The recent decline in the index pushed Nifty below crucial short and long-term moving averages. Nifty recouped losses after hitting its 100-day moving average placed at 10,694.

The last time when index slipped for 7-days on the trot was back in January. The Nifty index saw selling pressure from January 30 to February 7, 2018. 

For the last week, the S&P BSE Small-cap index and the S&P BSE Mid-cap index slid 2.96 percent and 2.71 percent respectively, compared to both S&P BSE Sensex and Nifty50, both of which fell about 2 percent in the same period.

Consistent selling was seen in the Indian markets that pushed the index towards crucial support levels. Most technical experts now feel that a technical bounceback could be on the cards.
