Nifty started the previous week with a downward gap, however, buying momentum throughout the week led the index to close on a strong note. Nifty closed at 11,624 with a gain of 167 points on a weekly basis.

On the weekly chart, Nifty formed a bullish candle with a lower shadow indicating buying at lower levels. The index is moving in a Higher Top and Higher Bottom formation on the weekly chart indicating positive bias. The chart pattern suggests that if Nifty crosses and sustains above 11,650 levels it would witness buying which would lead the index towards 11,700-11,750 levels.

However, if the index breaks below 11,550 level it would witness profit booking which would take the index towards 11,500-11,450 levels. Nifty is trading above 20, 50 and 100-day SMA which are important short term moving averages, indicating positive bias in the short term.

Nifty continues to remain in an uptrend in the medium term, so buying on dips continues to be our preferred strategy. For the week, we expect Nifty to trade in the range of 11,750-11,450 with a positive bias.

The weekly strength indicator RSI and momentum oscillator Stochastic both are moving upwards and are above their respective reference lines.
