These are a couple of quotes from Traderjis postings on this thread on June 8:

If the BSE SENSEX were to retrace 50% of its entire move from the June 2004 Lows to the recent high that level would be at 8580.00! A 38.2% retracement level of the same move would be at 9486.00
It would be best for investors to wait out the current correction and then enter long (on evidence of an uptrend) into the strongest stocks (stocks that have corrected the least) in the outperforming sectors.

Yes, the 38.2% and 50% retracement levels for the Nifty are approx. 2850 and 2600.
These values have been derived from the monthly charts, and for the Nifty the date would be May 31 05. The line chart that Traderji had attached is here:

Now, yesterday with the low at
2595, the Nifty has intraday all but tested its 50% retracement taken from that point.
A pure Fibonacci number I had pointed out to is
2584, and for all that is worth, even this has been tested, but by a very fine margin.
Whether this is rummaging through the destruction to come up with positive features is another matter.
On the other hand, the 200 DMA for the Nifty lies way above at
2912.
The TA maxim that says in these circumstances, the least the Nifty needs to do to bring in some semblance of a bullish disposition is to trade above this level.
To be realistic however, at todays levels this seems too far a horizon even to test:
As things go higher there will be desperate selling and vicious shorting.
Theres a long way to go, and again as I mentioned a few days ago, take it one day at a time.
2675-2680 is the point to cross and hold before progress can be made with
2643-2647 area coming up as resistance. A gap up, scary as it may sound would likely take care of this.
What happens beyond that is to be seen later.
For supports, lets for now go with yesterdays lows as they are important levels.
