Bulls went through a rough time in the last two trading sessions of the week after an initial rally.
We have witnessed 10 weeks breakout on the back of positive Interim Budget but market failed to hold on to the initial strength and register a gain of 0.45 percent only on weekly basis with Nifty50 closing below 11,000 mark at 10,943.60.
In the coming week, for maintaining the upside momentum Nifty 50 needs to hold 10,830 level.
Nifty has formed the Doji candlestick pattern on daily chart at 61.8 percent retracement level of September-October fall (from 11,760.2 to 10,004.55) which was followed by large red candle. The pattern suggests that next few days are going to be quite difficult for traders.
Though there is indecisive candlestick pattern at important levels but the fact cannot be ignored that we witnessed a range breakout last week.
Technical setup suggesting that two scenario could emerge in coming days and traders need to be flexible enough to deal with it.
1) If 10,830 trades on lower side then we can expect the market to go back again in a range of 11,000-10,590 and the current breakout will be considered as false.
2) Nifty could remain in range of 10,830 and 11,119 for few days and then gradually move forward to make new highs, in such case we could see a pre-election rally towards 11,380 and 11,500.
On option front also, indecisiveness is creeping in among traders as 11,000 Call and Put option both holds significant open interest. Immediate support for the week exists at 10,880 and 10,830 and until 10,830 holds bullish bias is likely to intact.
