The Nifty broke six straight sessions of decline on Thursday and formed a Hammer-like pattern on the daily candlestick charts, but experts feel that bulls are here to stay for a few more sessions. Traders should, therefore, avoid shorting the market.
The Nifty defended its 200-DEMA, placed around 10,101, but still traded below its crucial short-term moving averages, which will remain an overhang.
The index opened at 10,216 and rose to an intraday high of 10,270. It slipped to an intraday low of 10,146 before closing the day at 10,242, up 88 points.
According to Pivot charts, the key support level is placed at 10,169.3, followed by 10,095.9. If the index starts to move higher, key resistance levels to watch out are 10,293.2 and 10,343.7.
The Nifty Bank closed at 24,477.7. Important Pivot level, which will act as crucial support for the index, is placed at 24,172.7, followed by 23,867.7. On the upside, key resistance levels are placed at 24,658.6, followed by 24,839.5.
The Nifty futures on the Singaporean stock exchange were trading higher by around 47 points at 10,285, a rise of around 0.46 percent. This indicates that the domestic market is likely to open on a positive note.
