The Nifty50 finally moved above the 17,000 mark after a lot of attempts. On the daily chart, we can see that the index ended with a Doji candle pattern on December 23.
From the broader point of view, we believe that the index might consolidate between the 17,600 and 16,400 levels.
On the indicator front, the RSI (relative strength index) plotted on the daily time frame can be seen moving higher towards 50 after forming a bullish hinge near 30, indicating exhaustion in the bearish momentum in the price.
Going ahead, we expect the 17,200 mark to act as a strong resistance level. If the prices breach above the 17,200 mark, we can expect the prices to move higher towards the 17,600 level.
This analysis will not hold true if the prices breach below the 16,950 level.
Here are the three buy calls for next 2-3 weeks:
HCL Technologies: Buy | LTP: Rs 1,227.45 | Stop-Loss: Rs 1,190 | Target: Rs 1,472 | Return: 20 percent
HCL Technologies on the long-term charts can be seen forming a higher high higher low pattern, indicating that the long-term trend of the stock remains strongly bullish. On the medium charts we can see that the prices are moving higher after a correction.
On the indicator front, the RSI can be seen moving higher after forming a bullish hinge near the 50 mark, indicating increasing bullish momentum in the prices.
Going ahead, we might see the prices move higher towards the previous swing high of Rs 1,378. If the prices managed to sustain above this level, we might see the prices move higher towards Rs 1,472.
We would recommend a strict stop-loss of Rs 1,190 on the daily closing basis.
Tech Mahindra: Buy | LTP: Rs 1,683.80 | Stop-Loss: Rs 1,600 | Target: Rs 1,858 | Return: 10 percent

MMTC: Buy | LTP: Rs 47 | Stop-Loss: Rs 40 | Target: Rs 62 | Return: 32 percent
