Markets staged a staggering up move on June 20 amid short covering on the bourses.

The badly beaten down stocks like Jet Airways, Reliance Capital, Reliance Infra and DHFL hogged the limelight. More interestingly, the advance-decline ratio turned in the favour of the bulls which is a very pleasant development for the overall breadth of the market.

Index-wise, the Nifty formed a Bullish Engulfing Candlestick pattern on the daily chart. The move came after the index found support around its 50-DMA of 11,680 levels.

This may well be the first step towards a decent upswing which could take the Nifty higher around its next immediate resistance zone of 11,900-11,980 area. Crucial support is now upgraded to 11,700-11,740 zone.

Bank Nifty, on the other hand, has already broken out from a falling channel pattern and looks much impressive compared to the Nifty index.

If the index manages to surpass the immediate hurdle of 30,900 zone it would lead the Bank Nifty higher towards the 31,200-31,250 zone in the near term. Positive crossover on the RSI further accentuates our bullish stance on the index
