Nifty Today:

It was a volatile trading session for Nifty but it managed to end the day on a flat note. However, the stock specific momentum was good and markets breadth was positive which provided good trading opportunities for day traders. If we look at the lower time frame charts of Nifty, the momentum set ups are showing a negative divergence as although the index surpassed the previous day's high, the oscillator has not thus formed a divergence. Also Nifty is trading around the crucial hurdle of 61.8% retracement of the entire corrective phase of last few months. Usually when such divergences in overbought zone coincide around crucial resistance, it should lead to either a time-wise or a price-wise correction in the index in the short term. Hence, traders should look to book profits on long positions and look for some correction in the next few days.
