Nikhil Gupta: Should one buy Nifty at current levels?
A: Corrective dip to 5,498-5,410 can be used for buying with a stop loss of 5,215. Expect a rally towards 5,800-5,850-6,022-6,165. Resistance will be at 5,650. Breakout has already been witnessed above 5,450 last week. Expect some resistance at 5,650. On further breakout and close above 5,650, expect a rise towards atleast 5,850 and maybe to an outer extent to 6,165.
If the level of 5,200 is not violated then the bias remains up and we may see the rise get higher in term of price and may last till March 2013. Next few days could be crucial. We don’t need false breakout situation now.

Pulak Priyesh: What is your three-month target for Bharti Airtel?
A: Resistance for the stock is at Rs 260-265 for near-term. A rise and close above Rs 265 may trigger a pullback towards Rs 280-300-320.
Support will be at Rs 240-220. A fall and close below Rs 220 may extend the slide. Looking at the quarter chart, the strategy would be to exit long and sell on rise to Rs 274-309 with a stop loss of Rs 330. Till the level of Rs 331 is not crossed and close the bias as per the quarter chart would be to exit long irrespective of rise on intra-day, daily , weekly and monthly chart.
