A sharp uptick in foreign institutional investor (FPI) selling has amplified the weakness. According to NSDL data, FPIs have offloaded Indian equities worth Rs 10,775 crore so far in July.
Yet, beneath the surface of price action, a subtler force is at work: time.
July 15–19: Time Levels Guide Market Moves
In our previous analysis, we highlighted July 15 as a pivotal date—and the market respected this projection. On Friday, July 19, once the low of July 15 was breached, the Nifty witnessed aggressive selling.
Even the high made on July 15 proved significant: a failed breakout attempt near that level on July 16 triggered fresh declines.
Critical support zones worked well last week:
24,978 acted as a crucial support level before Friday’s pause.The 25,085 mark (July 15’s low) also played a vital role, as its breach led to a steep sell-off.Once again, the market demonstrated that both price levels and time zones matter in short-term trading decisions.
Precision in Time-Based Analysis: Intraday Accuracy Unmatched
Throughout the week, time analysis proved its merit with remarkable precision. Specific intraday time slots consistently aligned with swing highs, lows, and key reversals:
July 14:
- 10:20 AM – Swing high, followed by a downtrend
- 11:30 AM – Day’s low formed near this time
July 15:
- 9:45 AM – Day’s low formed
- 2:45 PM – Swing low marked with precision
July 16–18:
- Multiple intraday pivots around key time slots like 10:45 AM, 12:30 PM, and 2:45 PM
Such consistency confirms that Time Analysis, when combined with Price Action, can provide traders with clear, actionable insights.
