Nifty Today:

The Nifty index has seen a pullback move from the support zone of 21500-21450 in last couple of sessions. The 20 DEMA support is gradually shifting higher to around this range and hence, this remains a crucial support for the short term. The momentum readings which were overbought on the indices prior to this recent correction have cooled-off and the hourly readings are positive. Thus, this recent down move just seems to be a regular correction within an uptrend. Till this support of 21450 is intact, traders should avoid any bearish bets in the market and rather look for buying opportunities with a stop loss below this support. The immediate hurdle is seen around 21730-21770 and a breakout above this could then lead to another new high in the index. 

                                                                Nifty forms support base at 21500-21450

Since the companies has started declaring their Q3 results, there would be a lot of stock specific momentum as a result of reaction to the numbers. Hence, one should trade with proper risk management and look for stocks that have seen outperformance in the recent corrective phase.
