As long as the Nifty 50 stays below the record high of 21,593, consolidation is likely to continue in the coming sessions with key support at the psychological 21,000 mark, followed by critical support at 20,800, experts said, adding that if the index surpasses and holds its record high, then further sharp rally can't be ruled out, experts said.

Here's what Shrikant Chouhan of Kotak Securities recommends investors should do with these stocks when the market resumes trading today:
On December 21, the stock opened on a flat note and gradually surpassed yesterday’s high with strong volume activity. Despite volatile market conditions, the stock maintained its strong momentum throughout the day.
On the short-term time frame stock has formed strong price volume breakout pattern. The texture of the pattern suggest breakout action will continue in the near term if stock succeeds to trade above Rs 208 levels.
For the swing traders, Rs 208 should be the sacrosanct level, trading above the same we can expect uptrend continuation wave up to Rs 235.
On the weekly scale, the counter is into a rising channel chart formation with higher high and higher low series pattern. The technical indicators like ADX (average directional index) is also indicating further up trend from current levels, which could boost the bullish momentum in coming horizon.
As long as the stock is trading above Rs 2,250 the uptrend formation is likely to continue. Above which, the counter could move up to Rs 2,520. On the flip side, fresh sell off possible only after dismissal of Rs 2,250.
After the strong upward rally, the stock went into the consolidation mode on the daily scale. The recent breakout in the stock is representing a bullish continuation pattern, which is signifying a new leg of up move from the current levels.
For positional traders, Rs 6,280 would be the trend decider level. Trading above the same uptrend formation will continue till Rs 6,970. However, if it closes below Rs 6,280 traders may prefer to exit out from trading long positions.
