Nifty Today:

Since the mid of January month, Nifty was consolidating within a range which seemed to be a time-wise corrective phase. In the intermediate declines during this consolidation phase, Nifty managed to form a support base around its 40 DEMA which is usually seen as a crucial average in an uptrend. The higher than expected GDP data on Thursday evening led to a resumption of the positive trend and the index surpassed the previous highs.

Thus, our markets have resumed the trend post a consolidation and thus traders should continue to trade in the direction of the trend. The immediate supports for Nifty are placed around 22200 and 22000 while positional support of 40 DEMA is now around 21800. Positional traders should ride this trend with a stop loss below 21800 and look to trail the stop loss higher with upmove in the average. On the higher side, the retracements of the recent correction indicate possible near term targets of Rs. 22490 followed by 22720.
