After showing a range-bound movement in the last 5-6 sessions, Nifty picked up upside momentum on Wednesday and showed upside breakout of the range and closed higher. After opening on a slightly positive note, the market shifted into a sustainable intraday upmove, which continued for the whole session. Minor intraday dips in between were used to go long for the day. A new all time high was made at 17532 levels and Nifty closed near the highs.
The upside breakout of range movement could be a cheering factor for bulls to make a comeback. One may expect further upside towards 17600-17700 levels in the next few sessions. Immediate support is placed at 17420 levels.
Buy NTPC Ltd- (CMP Rs 124.55)
