For the next two days, 13,070 and 13,150 levels will be major hurdles for the Nifty. If it crosses 13,150, it can jump to 13,350 but below 12,930, the index will invite worries, say experts.

Two major events, short-covering ahead of November 2020 F&O expiry and rebalancing of MSCI portfolios, helped the Indian market recover sharply from lower levels.
The Nifty 50 index regained 13,000 levels and is exhibiting remarkable strength. The unusual support from commodities and financials helped the market to move forward.
Technically, for the next two days, 13,070 and 13,150 levels would be major hurdles for the index. If the Nifty 50 crosses 13,150, it could jump to 13,350. However, below 12930, the index would invite worries in the near term.Chandan Taparia, Vice President | Analyst-Derivatives at Motilal Oswal Financial Services Limited
The Nifty opened positive, saw a little dip in the initial hour of the session but recovered well. It formed a bullish candle on a daily scale along with a long lower shadow, which indicates that every small decline was being bought. Now it has to hold above 12,900 to witness a bounce towards 13,150 then 13,250, while on the downside support exists at 12,800 zones.

In case the Nifty manages to get past 13,145 on a closing basis, then traders should play on the long side for a possible target of 13,500.
Considering the strong appetite of the bulls at lower levels, it is advisable to refrain from shorting but before going long it would be prudent to wait and watch one more trading session of price action.

In an extremely volatile trading session, the benchmark indices settled higher with more than 60-65 percent roll-over of open positions in the December 2020 series. With relaxation in the SEBI norms for margin regulations, we expect action to start shifting to midcap stocks.
The underlying trend remains intact. On the upside, we expect the Nifty to face resistance at 13,010 and above that at 13,310-13,320. Overall, we continue to remain bullish, with minor intermediate corrections.
