A small negative candle was formed on the daily chart with upper shadow. After a sharp upmove recently, the market showing such formations in the last two sessions indicates possibility of minor downward correction in the short term.

Nifty is currently placed at the hurdle of 23,400-23,500 levels (1.382% Fibonacci projection), weekly hanging man and the opening downside gap of June 4, which are weighing high for the market to sustain the new all-time highs. Hence, there is a possibility of dip in the market. Immediate support is at 23,050 levels.
