Day trading guide for stock market today
“Nifty managed to sustain above the crucial hurdle of 200 day EMA around 16520 levels on Thursday. The opening upside gap of 20th July around 16360-16490 levels is intact after 2 days of its formation. As per gap theory, if the said gap remains unfilled in the next couple of sessions, then that gap could be considered as a bullish runaway gap and that could possibly suggest market is in midway of trend,” said Nagaraj Shetti, Technical Research Analyst at HDFC Securities.
Nagaraj Shetti further added, “The short term trend of Nifty remains positive. The intact of recent opening upside gap and a negation of small negative candle of Wednesday signal a possibility of further upside in the short term. The next upside resistance to be watched around 16,800 levels. Immediate support for NSE Nifty is placed at 16,480 levels.”

Trading with a stock specific approach and a proper risk management should ideally be the trading strategy in such scenario.”
