What does the chart say?

Though before COVID the stock was moving in an uptrend then crash led to fall in stock price of -41.12% and this impact -49.09% fall in bank nifty. Here I want to explain my views on the chart.

The price started to move in a channel pattern as you can see the price was actually respecting the upper and lower lines very frequently and in a very smooth manner price took the support on a very crucial level which is 70% of fibbonacci.

1. After breaching the very first resistance price is not able to take support on that level as the volume was low.

2. Though the breakout was failed price tried to test the lower level and took the support at 30% fibbonacci level (which is a very important level for expansion).

3. All of a sudden with very high volume the price took the support and confirmed its support at the lower line of the channel pattern.

4. At this level, price came down in the form of pull back as the volume where the witness of it.

5. Finally the resistance got broken with a very high volume, which significantly confirms the increase in the number of buyers in respect to the sellers.

The new levels were created by buyers and sellers who are the prominent factor of this entire market. Finally the price is back to that level where it was earlier trading.
