Nifty on Friday bounced back in style with an upside of 135 points to form a small positive candle with minor upper and lower shadow on the daily chart. However, on the weekly chart, a red candle was seen with an upper and long lower wick. The hourly momentum indicator has also reached the equilibrium line indicating that the pullback has matured and can begin a new cycle on the downside, said Nagaraj Shetti of HDFC Securities.
Nifty Futures Open Interest (OI) indicated a build-up of fresh long positions. “50-DEMA for Nifty is placed at 19,175, which is likely to act as a support for Nifty going forward. Nifty has been moving in a lower high lower low formation since 27th July.
A strong close above 19,600 and the 20-DEMA is likely to ignite buying interest again,” Samco Securities said.What should traders do?
