A rebound in market on the last day of the week ended May 19 fuelled hopes for further rise as the Nifty50 reclaimed 18,200, the crucial level to watch out for in the current week as well as where the maximum Call and Put open interest is placed at, though the index lost six-tenth of a percent to 18,203.4 last week.
The index has maintained higher highs formation for eight sessions in a row, which is a positive sign, while the momentum indicators RSI (relative strength index 14) at 59 levels on the daily charts, indicated a positive bias, and MACD (moving average convergence divergence) on the weekly scale gave a positive crossover above zero line.
The index has formed a bearish candlestick pattern with long upper and lower shadows on the weekly charts, indicating volatility, but on Friday, there was bullish hammer kind of pattern formation on the weekly timeframe, which is a potential reversal pattern.
Hence, if the index sustains above the 18,200 mark, then 18,300-18,500 can't be ruled out in the coming days, with critical support at the psychological 18,000 mark, experts said.
"The recent correction was certainly expected after the decent run and the overall chart structure remains robust, with bulls firmly able to withhold the pivotal support," Osho Krishan, Senior Analyst - Technical & Derivative Research at Angel One, said.
The 18,050-18,000 level was safeguarded firmly, showcasing the importance of pivotal support and is expected to act as a sheet anchor in the comparable period, he said. On the higher end, 18,400-18,450 is likely to act as the sturdy wall and a decisive breach would only trigger fresh longs in the system in future.
Mitesh Karwa, Research Analyst at Bonanza Portfolio, feels the coming week is of extreme importance for the market as it will decide the trend for the next leg. "The 18,200 levels are expected to act as a strong support zone and if held in the current week, the Nifty will start moving towards 18,500-18,600 levels," he said, adding that the Nifty is trading above its 200 EMA at 17,636 indicates strength.
