Nifty Today:

After crossing the immediate hurdle of 19675 on Tuesday, we witnessed a follow up buying in Wednesday’s session confirming a ‘Higher Top Higher Bottom’ structure again on the Nifty index. However, the Bank Nifty traded within a range on its weekly expiry day and did not show much relative strength. The RSI oscillator on the Nifty has already given a positive crossover indicating a resumption of the positive momentum. Hence, we could see the index heading higher in the near term and thus traders should trade with a positive bias. FII’s have covered marginal shorts but still significant short positions are there in the system. A continued strength in the index could lead to covering of these positions which would add fuel to the rally. For the weekly expiry day, a move above 19850 could then lead to a positive momentum in the index as it has closed right in the 18800-18850 resistance zone. On the flipside, 19700 followed by 19660 will be seen as immediate support on any declines from here.
