Trade Setup for Monday: Top 15 things to do before Opening Bell

The Nifty, which started with a gap-up on Friday, continued its journey of making higher highs and higher lows and closed above its crucial resistance levels of 10,785-10,800 on daily charts. The index formed a bullish candle on the daily as well as weekly charts.

Formation of a bullish candle negates the formation of a bearish candle formed in the previous trading session. Hence, investors are advised to stay cautious ahead of the Karnataka election outcome next week.

Level of 10,785 which acted as a crucial resistance level for the index this week will now act as a crucial support for the index. Hence, a break below this level could open room for bears to enter.

“The market appears to be defying gravity as it registered a strong bullish candle both on daily as well as weekly charts thereby negating the bearish technical formations witnessed in Thursday’s session,” Mazhar Mohammad, Chief Strategist – Technical Research & Trading Advisory, Chartviewindia.in told Moneycontrol.

“However, Friday’s rally is on the back of weak advance-decline ratio which remained skewed in favour of bears. Besides, the rally appears to have driven mainly by financials and metals whereas all other indices either remained flat or registered a negative close which should be a cause of concern,” he said.
