Nifty has been consolidating in the range of 400 odd points for the last seven trading sessions. On the downside, 17,000 has been acting as a support while 17,400 has been acting as a resistance. On March 28, Nifty found support at the lower band of the consolidation, and closed on a strong wicket. At present 20 and 50 day EMAs (exponential moving averages) are placed at 16,982 and 17,083 respectively and Nifty has managed to close above that.
A level above 20, 50, 100 and 200 day EMAs indicates bullish trend on all timeframes for Nifty. Positional support for Nifty is seen at 16,800 levels and Nifty trading longs can be held long with that stop-loss.
Indicators and oscillators like DMI (directional movement index), MACD (moving average convergence divergence) and RSI (relative strength index) have also been showing strength in the current move.
After running correction, BankNifty found support at 35,016 which happens to be 38.2 percent. Fibonacci retracement of the entire upswing is seen from 32,155 (low made on March 8) to 36,827 (high made on March 23). BankNifty closed near day's high with a bullish 'hammer' candlestick pattern on the daily charts.
To conclude, the trend of the market is bullish and chances of moving up from the current consolidation look much higher than moving down. Therefore, we recommend to remain bullish on markets with 17,640 and 17,774 targets. However, longs should be protected with 16,800 stop-loss in Nifty.
