The Nifty continued its upward journey for the second day in the row on the back of strong global cues on March 6. At close, the benchmark was up by 0.67 percent or 117 points at 17,711. From previous week's swing low of 17,255, it has witnessed a rally of more than 500 points in a span of four trading sessions.
In the process, the Nifty reversed its recent short-term downtrend and also closed above the 200-day EMA (exponential moving average) which is placed at 17,582. It also managed to close above its 11 and 20-day EMA of 17,574 and 17,650.
The 14-day RSI (relative strength index) too has jumped sharply and moved above its nine-day EMA, indicating strength in the rally. We could therefore see more upsides in the near term.
Among the Nifty options, Puts are being written at 17,500-17,600 levels. FIIs long to short ratio in the Index Future is placed at an oversold levels of 0.30 which in-turn indicates there is a higher probability of short covering by them from hereon.
Therefore, on the downside, 17,500 could now be considered as an immediate support for the Nifty and one should remain bullish with stop-loss of 17,500 levels.
On the upside, 17,800 could act as an immediate resistance for Nifty. We may see upside momentum once Nifty manages to surpass 17,800 convincingly. Above 17,800, Nifty could move towards next resistance level of 17,924 and 18,135.
Broad market indices like Nifty Midcap and Smallcap have outperformed this month till now with gains of 2.80 percent and 3.10 percent. Considering the positive momentum in the market, these indices could continue their outperformance and thereby offering some opportunities for short-term traders.
