Short-term trend in the Nifty turned positive as it broke out from a downward sloping trendline, adjoining the highs of January 16 and January 23. The Nifty also closed above its 11-day and 20-day EMA (exponential moving average) suggesting a bullish trend reversal.
In the options segment, we have seen aggressive Put writing at the 21,500-21,600 levels. This level coincides with the 5, 11 and 20-day EMA which are placed at 21,540, 21,565 and 21,534, respectively. Therefore, we believe that on the downside, 21,500-21,600 levels would act as a strong support.
Traders are advised to accumulate longs in the Nifty with a stop-loss at 21,500 on a closing basis.
There is an unfilled gap in the range of 21,850-21,970 which can act as an immediate resistance for the Nifty. Moreover, in the options segment, we have seen aggressive Call writing at the 22,000 level. So, on the higher side, 21,850-22,000 will act as a strong resistance.
