Technical View

"Unless Nifty trades below 13449 levels in next session weakness shall not be expected where as intraday strength may remain even on weekly expiry session if bulls manages to sustain above 13550 levels. In such a scenario a target of 13700 can’t be ruled out," said Mazhar Mohammad, Chief Strategist – Technical Research & Trading Advisory, Chartviewindia.in.

"Considering the fact that current index level is far away from it short term average price traders are advised to remain cautious and will be better off by booking profits and maintaining a neutral stance," he added.
