The Nifty50 which closed above its crucial psychological level of 10,300 last week registered gains of over 2 percent for the week ended April 6th.
Benchmark indices staged a strong pullback rally fuelled by firm global cues. Broader markets outperformed the Nifty Midcap and Smallcap indices rose over 2 percent, each last week.
Sectorally, all indices ended in the green led by metal and PSU banking stocks. The Nifty has corrected by about 11 percent from February peak 11,172 and found support from 52-week EMA 9,980.
“Going ahead, we expect the Nifty to extend consolidation towards 10,450 and form a base in the broad range of 10,450 – 9,950, which would pave the way for the next leg of upmove,” ICICIdirect.com said in a report.
“As we are entering the Q4 earnings season, we believe the focus will shift to stock specific action amid ongoing consolidation,” it said.
The Nifty, in the last week, witnessed the continuation of the short-term pullback that had originated from sub-10,000 levels in the penultimate week. However, experts feel that it would be wise to use pullback rallies to short the index.
The pullback has done descent retracement of the previous fall and has now reached a crucial resistance zone i.e. 10,300-10,350. There are multiple parameters, lying over there, to restrict further upside.
“The Nifty, after the recent bounce back, has reached the hurdle zone of 10,300-10,350. The weekly as well as the monthly chart, however, shows that the index is not yet out of the woods and the larger outlook remains in favor of the bears,” Gaurav Ratnaparkhi, Senior Technical Analyst, Sharekhan by BNP Paribas told Moneycontrol.
“Thus, I would recommend using the bounce as an opportunity to align oneself with the larger downtrend. So the strategy would be to stay on the short side of the trade,” he said. One can look to build a short position at the current level and add to it as the Nifty breaches 10,200 on the downside with 9,950-9,800 as targets in sight.
