Hot Stocks | Here's why you should buy Astral, Monte Carlo Fashions, Triveni Engineering for short term

Santosh Meena, Head of Research at Swastika Investmart

The Nifty50 sees a fresh expansion phase after breaking out down-sloping channel formation where 18,000-18,200 is an immediate target zone. If the Nifty manages to take out 18,200 level, then the bulls will eye for a fresh all-time high.

On the downside, the cluster of 50 and 100-DMA (daily moving average), around 17,500 level will act as an immediate and strong support level at any pullback while 17,300-17,150 is the next demand zone.

Momentum indicator RSI (relative strength index) has moved above the 60 mark that may generate thrust for further upside. The Nifty is giving proper follow-up of bullish reversal morning star candlestick formation on the weekly chart.

Bank Nifty also sees a strong move after crossing the cluster of 20-DMA and 200-DMA in the 35,700-35,800 area. The upside momentum may continue, however, 37,200-37,600 is a critical resistance zone where we can expect a pullback because 37,200 is a cluster of 50 and 100-DMA and 37,580 is a previous swing high. On the downside, 36,500 is an immediate support level while 36,000-35,700 is a critical demand zone.
