What should traders do? Here’s what analysts said:
Om Mehra, Technical Analyst, SAMCO Securities
The index is well-supported by the 10-day moving average of around 24,200. Trading within a broad rising channel, marked by higher highs and higher lows, which displays a strong primary trend. The index swiftly recovered despite a 23.6% retracement and moved higher. Nifty is expected to test the range of 24,580–24,640 in the upcoming session.
Rupak De, Senior Technical Analyst, LKP Securities
Nifty remained strong throughout the day, holding the support level of 24,300. The sentiment is likely to remain positive as long as it stays above 24,300, where significant put writing has occurred. On the higher end, the 24,500-24,600 range might act as an immediate resistance zone. Overall, the sentiment may continue to favor the bulls in the near term unless the index falls below 24,300.
Jatin Gedia, Sharekhan
On the daily charts, we can observe that the Nifty closed above 24,400 suggesting that there is likely to be more upside over the next few trading sessions. The next target of the upside is 24,610, which is the 161.82% fibonacci retracement level of the previous fall and also the daily upper Bollinger band.(Disclaimer: Recommendations, suggestions, views and opinions given by the experts are their own.
