Nifty on Friday ended 190 points higher to form a long bull candle on the daily chart.
The short-term trend of Nifty seems to have reversed on the upside and the sustainability of this upside bounce could be crucial to call this an important bottom reversal. Nifty is likely to move up further towards the next overhead resistance of around 19,230 levels.
Any weakness from here could find support around 18,850 levels, said Nagaraj Shetti of HDFC Securities.
The maximum call open interest strike of 19,000 saw call writers exiting and put writers strengthening their positions, which is a bullish sign.
What should traders do? Here’s what analysts said:

We expect this pullback to continue till 19,160 – 19,220, where resistance in the form of a Fibonacci retracement level and the 40-hour moving average is placed. The hourly momentum indicator has a positive crossover which is a buy signal.
Thus, considering the above parameters we expect the pullback to continue. On the weekly charts, we can observe that the Nifty has respected the support zone of 18,800 – 18,925 where multiple support parameters in the form of the 40-week average and a crucial Fibonacci retracement level were placed.
Thus, going ahead the Nifty can consolidate within 18,800 – 19,200 before resuming the next leg of the fall. In terms of levels, 19,160 – 19,220 shall act as resistance, while 18,930 – 18,900 shall act as an immediate support zone.
