Nifty Outlook by Angel Broking
For the coming week, 10482-10500 levels would be closely watched in the upward direction; whereas, the immediate support lies in the range of 10,383-10,311. At this juncture, traders are advised not to take aggressive positions and should rather keep focusing on individual stocks with a proper exit strategy.
As far as sectoral view is concerned, we would expect ongoing buzz to continue in ‘Pharmaceutical’ as well as ‘PSU’ banking space. One should also keep a close track of ‘Midcap IT’ counters that are likely to do well in the forthcoming week.
