A morning walk down Dalal Street | Move above resistance of 10780 indicates bullish bias but concerns remain

Well, after around 18 trading sessions of a range bound move, the market has finally broken on the upside.

The Index has managed to move past the resistance band of around 10780 and also its 200-DMA, onto the range of 10850-10950.

This certainly indicates a bullish bias; however, the broader markets are a cause of concern, highlights experts.

Rupee soars 77 paise, breaches 70/USD mark after 3 months.

“The gains were mainly driven by few of the heavyweight counters and the broad base move was missing. In fact, if we meticulously watch the midcap index then there are signs of weakness in the prices as well in its indicator and hence one needs to be cautious on stock picking as we have seen many false moves in the last few sessions,” GEPL Capital said in a report.

“On the lower side, as far as levels are concerned Wednesday's gap around 10695-10700 will now act an immediate support, with intermediate supports placed around the earlier bar of 10450 levels,” it said.

Nifty formed a bullish candle on the expiry day
