After sharp gains on November 12, Nifty witnessed profit booking at higher levels on Monday where it corrected more than hundred points from the intraday high to close near Friday’s close.
However, the primary trend remains positive as Nifty is trading above its 5, 20 and 50 day EMA (exponential moving average). It has broken out from the downward sloping trendline, adjoining the highs of October 19 and November 9, 2021.
During the recent correction, Nifty took support at 10-week EMA and bounced back. Nifty has never closed below its 10-week EMA since May 2021, which is currently placed at 17,780 odd levels.
In the Option segment also, we have seen Put writing at 17,800-18,000 levels, indicating 17,800 levels to act as a strong support going forward.
Therefore, we believe that though Nifty has witnessed some correction from the all-time high seen in mid-October, Nifty remains in an intermediate uptrend till it is trading above an important support level of 17,780 levels.
While we remain open to further upsides, a short-term trend reversal would be confirmed only If the Nifty closes below the 17,780. Therefore, for traders our advice is to remain bullish and accumulate longs on declines with the stop loss of 17,780 levels.
On the higher side, Nifty is likely to find Immediate resistance at 18,342 and 18,600 levels.
After sharp corrections during the second half of October month, Nifty Small cap and Midcap Indices are consolidating in the narrow range during the last few days. Declines outnumbered the advances on November 15 while the number of stocks making new 52-week highs are falling during the last few days, indicating only selective stocks are doing well from the Midcap/Small caps space. Therefore, for traders our advice is to be very selective in buying Midcap/Small cap stocks for the short term. Focus of the traders should be on Pharma, FMCG, Auto and Hotels stocks for generating higher returns from hereon.
To conclude, the short-term trend remains positive for the Nifty. Next upside target for the Nifty is seen around 18,350 levels, followed by 18,600. Longs should be protected with a stop loss of 17,780.
