Day trading guide for stock market today
“The short term trend of Nifty remains positive with range bound action. A sustainable move above 17550 levels could be considered as an upside breakout of the range and that could pull Nifty towards the next important resistance of 17800-17900 levels in the near term. Immediate support is placed at 17430 levels,” said Nagaraj Shetti, Technical Research Analyst, HDFC Securities.
“After consolidating last week, Nifty finally managed to cross and close above 17,500 levels. This indicates the inherent strength in the domestic market, despite mixed global cues and increasing geopolitical tensions. We expect positive momentum to continue with nifty inching towards 17700 – 17800 zones. Inflation data for US and India would be key data to watch out for during the truncated trading week,” said Siddhartha Khemka, Head – Retail Research, Motilal Oswal.
