Though the Indian market started off on a negative note on Wednesday following weak Asian sentiment, the bias remained positive. The index touched an intraday low of 10,689 in the opening trades and hit a high of 10,766 towards close.
After Tuesday’s weak session, bulls came to challenge the bears and ended with a win for the day, notching gains of 23.90 points. The index is trading well above its 200-DEMA (double exponential moving average) on the daily chart. Moreover, its 21-EMA and 50-EMA are in a positive crossover which adds to the market bullishness.
Momentum indicator, relative strength index (RSI) (14) is in a bullish crossover with a current reading at 60.07 on the weekly chart. This suggests possibility for further short-term upsides in the index. Another indicator, moving average convergence divergence (MACD) is in a bullish crossover and hovering above the “Line of Polarity”, which again suggests positive momentum in the days to come.
On the higher side, the Nifty may move towards 10,910 and 11,030 over the short-term. On the lower end, support is pegged at 10,550.
