The rebound in the Nifty from corrections indicates strong demand at lower price points. Currently, the index is consolidating between 21,430 and 22,126 levels on the daily charts, showing a short-term sideways trend.

Key technical indicators, notably the relative strength index (RSI), remain positive, maintaining levels above 60 on weekly and monthly intervals. However, the daily RSI hovers around 55, suggesting a neutral momentum in the short term.

Looking ahead, immediate resistance levels for the Nifty are seen at 22,126, representing the life high, with an additional barrier at 22,500 mark. On the downside, crucial support levels are identified at 21,430 and 21,100.

Given the current chart structure, short-term volatility is anticipated. The recommendation is to consider buying near the support zone of 21,550 – 21,500, targeting an upside potential ranging from 22,126 to 22,500 levels. It's advisable to implement a strict stop-loss at 21,430 on a closing basis to effectively manage risks.

Hindustan Petroleum is presently trading at its life highs, indicating a strong and resilient momentum in the market.

Furthermore, the stock maintains its position above both the 20-week and 50-week EMA, reinforcing the bullish trend. The MACD has been in the positive territory, underscoring the trend's strength backed by substantial momentum.

A notable observation lies in the ratio chart of Hindustan Petroleum against Nifty, which has experienced a breakout of the sloping trendline. This development underscores the stock's robust strength and potential for sustained outperformance compared to the broader market.
