Nifty Today:

Our markets witnessed some pullback move corrected during the week, but the broader markets did not see any sharp sell-off. Infact, the market breadth has been in the favor of advances which indicate stock specific buying interest amongst market participants. Nifty managed to find support around 21500 which was the 50 percent retracement level of the recent upmove. Thus, this will be now seen as the crucial support and till this remains intact, the near term trend remains positive. The index is forming a ‘Rising Wedge’ pattern on the daily chart and thus we could see one more new high on the index in the short term. Hence, it is advisable to keep stoploss below 21500 and trade with a positive bias for probable targets around 21800-21850 followed by 21970.
