It was volatile for the Indian stock markets last week, but the bulls managed to push the index back above 15,800 at Friday’s close. The Nifty 50 ended the week with a loss of 0.4 percent while the S&P BSE Sensex fell 0.3 percent.
The Nifty 50 had closed above 15,900 (at 15,923.40) on July 16, but it failed to hold on to the momentum amid weak global cues. For more than a month now, the Nifty 50 has been trapped in a range of about 500 points.
For the most part of June, the index was confined to domestic triggers, but global factors started to influence the markets in July. For the bulls to take control, the Nifty 50 has to close above or surpass 16,000 convincingly. On the downside, support is placed at 15,500-15,450 levels, experts suggested.
“Unfortunately, global peers experienced some selloff when the Nifty was about to reach the milestone of 16,000 last week. After undergoing some price correction for the first couple of days, we witnessed a good relief rally to reclaim the important level of 15,800 on a weekly closing basis,” said Sameet Chavan, chief analyst - technical & derivatives, at Angel Broking.
“This certainly bodes well for the bulls, but considering the recent trend, we are still not out of the woods. So, rather than pre-empting and getting caught on the wrong foot, we would wait for Nifty to surpass the sturdy wall of 16,000. If this happens, then the next immediate levels to watch out for would be 16,200-16,400.”
Chavan added that while the index is not too far from 16,000, there could be good stock-specific action.
“We reiterate: if Nifty has to reach and surpass the magical figure of 16,000, banking certainly plays a vital role here,” Chavan said.
Here’s a list of top 10 trading ideas from experts for the next 3-4 weeks:
Sacchitanand Uttekar, DVP – Technical (Equity), Tradebulls Securities
The price is trending close to its lifetime high. On the monthly scale, the stock has completed its ‘rounding bottom’ formation while on the weekly scale, it has witnessed a fresh breakout from a continuation pattern/bullish flag formation.
Its ongoing secular upward move is expected to remain intact with immediate pattern price targets coinciding at about the Rs 1,140 zone.
Reliance Industries: Buy above Rs 2140| LTP: Rs 2105| Stop Loss: Rs 2060| Target: Rs 2280| Upside 6%
A bullish Harami formation was seen on its weekly scale followed by a spike formation that awaits a confirmatory close. Once Rs 2,140 is breached on the upside, it would mark the termination of its ongoing consolidation/corrective formation.
As of now, the stock is still oscillating within its declining wedge formation on its daily scale, with its daily relative strength index (RSI) trending above the 50 mark.
So far, it has held on to its 5 and 20 WEMA support zone well. Hence, we believe once it breaks above Rs 2,140, the stock could revisit its 52-week high in no time.

The stock saw a breakout from the cup & handle formation on the weekly scale, with the price closing above its 200 DEMA consecutively for the first time since its listing on December 23, 2020 – positive for the bulls.
The weekly ADX reading is above 30 now, which serves as an added confirmation for the pattern breakout. We expect momentum to sustain as long as Rs 420 holds.
Route Mobile: Buy| LTP: Rs 2137| Stop Loss: Rs 2040| Target: Rs 2480| Upside 16%
Positive sector outlook, along with bullish pennant formation on its daily scale, looks mature. A breakout above Rs 2,200 should see a strong unidirectional momentum towards its pattern target placed around Rs 2,480.
