Outlook for July 7
Gaurav Bissa, VP, InCred Equities
Nifty opened on a flattish note, but it was in no mood to give up the gains it has enjoyed in the last few days. After 2 days of consolidation, the index came back strong and closed near high point of the day. The index was seen gaining strength as the day progressed even when Bank Nifty was underperforming, thanks to the strong push by Reliance Industries with support from auto stocks like M&M and Tata Motors.
The index has, however, witnessed negative divergence in RSI on the hourly charts which may restrict the pace of Nifty going forward. On 240mins charts, RSI has approached 84 levels which is near a 3-year resistance of 85-87 zone. This, combined with the rising trendline hurdle at 19600 can result in some profit booking in the index in the coming days. The immediate supports are placed at 19330 while medium term supports are placed at 19150-19200 levels.
Rupak De, Senior Technical analyst at LKP Securities:
The Nifty reached another all-time high after two days of consolidation, indicating a breakout in the upward direction. The overall trend appears positive as the index comfortably sits above a key short-term moving average (50DMA).
The immediate resistance is visible at 19500; a decisive breakout above 19500 may take the index towards 19725. Support on the lower end is pegged at 19350-19300.
