“Lack of follow through on the downside reinstated the bullish sentiment in markets, for time being, as the Nifty signed off the session with a bullish candle. However, based on larger trends it still appears that Nifty is staring at a critical resistance point of 10930 which can be a litmus test for bulls,” Mazhar Mohammad, Chief Strategist – Technical Research & Trading Advisory, Chartviewindia.in told Moneycontrol.
“A breakout above 10,930 may pave the way for a retest of lifetime highs placed around 11,170 levels. Till then, markets shall remain vulnerable to bouts of volatility and breach of 10777 shall confirm short-term trend reversal in favour of bears,” he said.
Mohammad further added that at this juncture traders are advised to remain focussed on individual stock specific opportunities with a stop below 10,777 on a closing basis.
