Technically, Nifty has formed a strong bullish candle on the weekly chart which is broadly positive. This Bull run has more legs to go and it is just a matter of time when Sensex will cross the 60000 mark. The monthly chart of the benchmark index has given an 8.69 per cent return for the August series and has formed a tall green candle indicating bulls still have enough strength to trade higher. Nifty 50 is making new lifetime highs for the fifth consecutive session indicating a strong bull market trend is unfolding.
There could be throwbacks in the small time frame due to overbought conditions on the short-term chart, but it would be wise to use those opportunities to add open positions as it is a buy on dips market scenario.
As of now, there is no indication of Nifty sliding below the 16800 – 16700 levels, but you never know how global development pan out. The resistance is pegged at 17550 levels. The ideal strategy would be look at the individual stocks rather than the benchmark index.
BANK NIFTY
Bank Nifty has finally broken its consolidation band and has successfully closed above the horizontal trend line support. The change of polarity concept is seen at the current junction as the earlier resistance level is acting as an immediate support zone for the banking index.
We have also seen a breakout in the momentum oscillator RSI (14) as the oscillator has been able to close above its horizontal trend line resistance placed near 58 levels with bullish crossover on the daily time frame. The MACD indicator has also taken support near its centreline and currently moving higher with closing above its signal line indicates strength in the current up move.
On the weekly chart, prices are trading above upward slanting trend line support and a higher high higher low formation is well intact on the broader time frame. The 21 & 50 – day exponential moving average continues to act as an anchor point and any dip near these levels will be an opportunity to add positions in the banking index.
The upside resistance is likely to be capped near 37500- 3770 levels. For now, the support level for the Bank Nifty stands at 36200 – 36000 levels.
