Outlook for February 11

Nagaraj Shetti, Senior Technical Research Analyst at HDFC Securities

Nifty continued to scale higher amidst choppy movement on Tuesday and closed the day higher by 67 points. After opening on a positive note, the market was not able to sustain the highs and later shifted into a range bound action for better part of the session. Nifty faced stiff resistance around 26000 levels which is a mid part of long red candle of 3rd Feb and closed the day off the highs.

A small red candle was formed on the daily chart with minor upper and lower shadow. Technically, this market action signals a formation of high wave type candle pattern, which echoes minor volatility in the market at the highs.

The underlying trend of Nifty continues to be positive amidst range bound movement. A decisive move above the resistance of 26000 levels could open more upside towards 26350 levels in the near term. Immediate support is placed at 25800.

Shrikant Chouhan, Head Equity Research, Kotak Securities

Today, the benchmark indices continued their positive momentum, with the Nifty ending higher by 68 points and the Sensex rising by 208 points. Among sectors, almost all the major sectoral indices witnessed positive momentum, but the Capital Market index outperformed, rallying over 2.70 percent.

Technically, after a promising uptrend, the market has formed a Doji candle pattern on the daily charts, indicating indecisiveness between the bulls and bears.

We are of the view that the short-term market outlook remains positive, but there could be a quick intraday dip if the index slips below 25,900/84100. Below this level, the market could retest the levels of 50 day SMA ( Simple Moving Average) or 25,800-25,750/83700-83500.

On the higher side, 26,000/84500 would be the immediate resistance zone for the bulls. A successful breakout above 26,000/84500 could push the market up to 26,100-26,150/84800-85000.
