The Nifty50 closed at a record high on Wednesday at 9,265 and formed a ‘Dragonfly Doji’ kind of pattern on the daily candlestick charts ahead of the outcome of the Reserve Bank of India’s policy meet on Thursday.
Dragonfly Doji pattern signals indecision among bulls as well as bears but it also points to the fact that buying emerged at lower levels and bulls managed to push the index towards opening which is bullish in nature and signals continuation of the trend.
Although the formation of this pattern signals a trend reversal but there is no reason for traders to go short in this market at the current juncture. But, it would be wise if investors trade with a strict stop loss placed at 9,139 for a target of 9,350, according to experts.
