Nifty logged the best week in 4 months rising 2.6%. Nifty on daily charts however has formed a long legged doji with slightly upward bias. Volume pickup and positive advance decline ratio portend well for the near term. 17944-17655 could be the range for the Nifty in the near term, according to Deepak Jasani, Head of Retail Research, HDFC Securities.
Nifty on the weekly chart formed a long bull candle as per week's close and registered gains for third consecutive weeks. The present weekly market action indicate a negation of bearish weekly pattern of lower highs and lower lows. This is positive indication. The underlying short term trend of Nifty remains positive with high volatility. The uptrend strength remains intact and we are unlikely to see any sharp trended decline from here. Any weakness from here could be a buying opportunity around the crucial support of 17600 levels and we expect further upside from the lower levels. Immediate resistance is placed at 17900. – Nagaraj Shetti, Technical Research Analyst, HDFC Securities.
