The Nifty50 has maintained the 19,600-19,700 levels through the past several sessions and faced significant hurdle in the 19,850-19,900 zone. Hence, these levels can act as a support and resistance for the index, respectively, in the coming days. Breach on either side of this range can give a direction to the index, experts said, adding that 20,000 can be possible if it sees a breakout of hurdle, but breakdown of support can drag it down to the 19,300 mark.
On November 24, the day before a long weekend, the Nifty50 fell 7 points to 19,795 and formed a small bearish candlestick pattern with upper and lower shadows on the daily charts, while the BSE Sensex was down 48 points at 65,970.
On the broader markets front, the Nifty Midcap 100 and Smallcap 100 indices gained 0.06 percent and 0.3 percent, respectively.
Stocks that recorded strong performance on last Friday included Data Patterns (India), BHEL, and New India Assurance Company.

With a single day rally, the stock, which already above 200-day EMA, moved above other key moving averages (20, 50 and 100-day EMA - exponential moving averages) as well.
