Nifty to trade strong above 10,570; 5 buy ideas that can return 11-21%

Shabbir Kayyumi

Bulls capitulated against bears as the Nifty continued to tumble below its 50-day daily moving average on expiry day (Thursday). However, it bounced back in Friday's session. Selling was seen across all sectors last week, while the carnage in the mid and smallcap space continued.

In the medium term, the Nifty is likely to trade rangebound as long as it trade above 10,550 levels. Its relative strength index (RSI) near the 50 mark suggests sideways movement in coming sessions.

Confluences of Fibonacci retracement and 100-day exponential moving average (EMA) around 10,570 levels implies robust support. The Nifty will remain strong till it holds above this level.

Nifty VIX continues to trade in the range of 13.94 and 12.02, suggesting that market participants are not seeing a major rise in volatility at least for the Nifty.

The downward sloping trend line connecting the two major tops of 11,121 and 10,929 suggests resistance at 10,850 levels. The regression line is flat around 10,750 levels.

We expect the Nifty to trend sideways for the next few trading session. On the flip side, the index has to close below 10,550 to change this sideways movement thesis.

Bank Nifty too is expected to remain rangebound between 26,800 and 26,200 levels. It would start trending only if it decisively closes below its 50-day moving average currently placed at 26,130 levels.

Here is a list of 5 stocks that could return 10-21 percent in the short-term:

Petronet LNG: Buy | Range: Rs 212-215 | Target - Rs 260 | Stoploss - Rs 199 | Return - 21%

Petronet stock price has formed double bottom around Rs 202 which is price reversal pattern in nature. The double bottom formation is also near the consolidation made in July-August 2017 from where last rally has emerged taking stock price to the high of Rs 275.

During making of this double bottom RSI has spurted in the middle to high of 84.7 suggesting possibility of strong follow through post making of the double bottom.

Moreover, emergence of Morning stars on daily chart is indicating up move in coming sessions. Sustainability of RSI above 50 also provides strength.

Buying acceleration will increase above Rs 230 mark after that it should give spurt towards Rs 260 mark. View remains intact as long as it sustains above Rs 199 mark.
