Bulls retained their reign on Dalal Street for the second consecutive week ended April 6, taking the Nifty50 to a one-month peak and the BSE Sensex near its psychological 60,000 mark, especially after the Reserve Bank slammed the brakes on rate hikes.
The Nifty50 climbed 239 points or 1.4 percent to 17,599, and formed a bullish candlestick pattern on the weekly scale, making higher highs higher lows for second consecutive week. The index returned above the 50-day EMA (exponential moving average) with the momentum indicator RSI (relative strength index) giving a positive crossover, indicating the favourable trend.
Hence, the Nifty50 may find resistance at the 17,600-17,800 zone and, if these levels get surpassed, then all eyes on the psychological 18,000 mark, with supports at 17,500-17,300 and 17,200 levels, experts said.
"One should not become complacent and should not rule out the possibility of a breather after the steep rally. 17,500-17,400 is likely to cushion any short-term blip, while the sacrosanct support lies around the bullish gap of 17,200 in the comparable period," Osho Krishan, Senior Analyst - Technical & Derivative Research at Angel One said.
On the flip side, he feels the 17,600-17,700 is likely to be seen as an immediate hurdle and an authoritative breach beyond the same could only trigger the next leg of rally in Nifty towards 17,800 for the upcoming week.
Going ahead, one needs to keep a close tab on the mentioned levels and continue with a buy-on-decline strategy for the time being, Osho advised.
Technical Analyst and Trader, Amit Seth also advised if the market gives an opportunity in the form of a dip towards support levels (17,200-17,300), it would be an opportunity to create fresh long positions with a good risk reward.
Technically a small pullback and consolidation would be healthy for Nifty and enable it to make fresh record highs in April, he said.
Let's take a look at the top 10 trading ideas by experts for the next three-four weeks. Returns are based on the April 6 closing prices:

BHEL: Buy | LTP: Rs 71 | Stop-Loss: Rs 65 | Target: Rs 78 | Return: 10 percent
The stock has formed a higher bottom after rebounding from a low of Rs 67.60. It was higher than Rs 66.30 on February 27. The volume indicator suggests the price to buy support from the last 3 days.
Based on the longer-term averages, the stock was trading near the support of 200-days SMA (simple moving average) which stood at Rs 67.20 on the reversal date.
In short, the reversal has taken place with the help of several indicators, which will make a case for buying the stock with a positional approach. On the upside, resistance will lie at Rs 74 and Rs 78. Put stop-loss at Rs 65.
