With the solid start to the February series, the Nifty 50 has cleared its both hurdles (21,500 and 21,700) in a single day, after forming a temporary bottom at the 21,137 level. Hence, if the index manages to hold the momentum, 21,850-22,000 is the area to watch out for on the higher side, which can give the confirmation to the start of a higher-high-higher-low formation, whereas on the other side, 21,600-21,500 is expected to be the near-term support area for the index, experts said.
On January 29, the BSE Sensex rallied 1,241 points or 1.8 percent to 71,942, while the Nifty 50 surged 385 points or 1.8 percent to 21,738 and formed a long bullish candlestick pattern on the daily charts. The Nifty Midcap 100 and Smallcap 100 indices gained 1.6 percent and 1.5 percent.

Index heavyweight Reliance Industries has seen a decisive breakout of downward sloping resistance trendline adjoining highs of January 16 and January 20, and clocked 7 percent rally to end at record closing high of Rs 2,896. The stock has formed robust bullish candlestick pattern on the daily scale with significantly higher volumes.

Here's what Ashish Kyal of Waves Strategy Advisors recommends investors should do with these stocks when the market resumes trading today:
It is rare to see this stock rally by more than 7 percent in single day. Reliance Industries surpassed its previous record highs of Rs 2,792 level and achieved fresh record highs of Rs 2,905 level which keeps the tone positive for the stock.
Parabolic Sar dots has started to form below the price which is also suggesting that short term bias is bullish. Stochastic RSI (relative strength index) is also confirming the bullish bias as it has given bullish crossover. Stock has shown sharp upside move, buy on dips seems to be a prudent strategy.
In short, Reliance is bullish. Buy on dips can be used to ride the trend as far as price hold Rs 2,790 on the downside for further upside levels of Rs 3,000.
On the below chart, we can see that stock has given breakout of the rectangular pattern, indicating up move post accumulation. In the previous session, price has closed above Rs 432 with increase in volume. This confirms breakout of the trading range.
Along with this, MACD (moving average convergence divergence) has also shown a bullish crossover which is acting as a double confirmation.
In short, trend for PFC looks positive. Use dips towards Rs 432 as a buying opportunity with the target of Rs 465 as long as Rs 410 holds on the downside.
