Indian market rallied over 7 percent in July but after two straight months of consecutive gains, experts feel that August could be a month of consolidation.

The Nifty50 reclaimed 11,300 levels in the last week of July but then bears took control of D-Street and pushed the index towards 11,000 levels towards the close of the month.

The rollover in Nifty is at 77.59 percent, which is in line with its 3-month average of 77.40 percent, whereas rollover in Bank Nifty is at 75.30 percent compared to the average of 79 percent.

“During the July series, FIIs formed long positions in the index futures segment. Their ‘Long Short Ratio’ at the start of the new series is at 66 percent. The weekly options data hints at a probable trading range of 11,000-11,300 in the initial part of the new series,” Sameet Chavan, Chief Analyst Technical and Derivatives at Angel Broking Ltd told Moneycontrol.

“If we combine this with technical observations, ideally the move outside the range of 10,870-11,350 would confirm where markets are heading. But, if we go with the broader degree trend which is upward, the possibility of Nifty heading towards 11,500 is quite high as long as 10,870 is not broken,” he said.

We have collated a list of 10 trading ideas from experts that can give 10-30% returns in the next 3-4 weeks:
