Premium- Day trading guide for Thursday: Immediate resistance for NSE Nifty is placed at 17,650 levels, believe stock market experts
Day trading guide for Thursday: Despite weakness in European and some Asian markets due to hawkish US Fed on interest rate hike, Indian markets finished higher on Wednesday session. Nifty 50 index gained 27 points and closed at 17,604 levels whereas BSE Sensex surged 54 points and finished at 59,085 mark. However, Nifty Bank outperformed key benchmark indices and finished 340 points higher at 39,038 levels.
According to stock market experts, a small positive candle was formed on the daily chart, that placed beside the long positive candle of previous session. Technically, this pattern indicate a range bound movement in the market after a pullback rally from the lower supports. This also reflects a lack of selling interest in the last couple of sessions after a sharp reversal on the downside on 19th and 22nd August.

"The market is in an attempt to comeback from the lows and further sustainable upside move from here could bring bulls into a driver's seat. Immediate resistance for NSE Nifty is placed at 17,650 and a sustainable move above this area is expected to pull Nifty towards another hurdle of 17,850 levels in the short term," said Nagaraj Shetti, Technical Research Analyst at HDFC Securities.
Rajesh Palviya, VP - Technical & Derivative Research at Axis Securities said, "On the daily chart, the index has formed a bullish candle.

The index is moving in a Higher Top and Higher Bottom formation on the daily chart, indicating an uptrend."
