What should traders do? Here’s what analysts said:
Rajesh Bhosale, Technical Analyst, Angel One
Thanks to last week’s dip and the current prices crossing recent highs, a saucer formation is now evident on the hourly chart. According to this pattern, prices may continue the upward movement in the near term towards the 22,000 mark, with 21,800-21,850 serving as immediate resistance. On the downside, bulls remain resilient, quickly buying any minor dips. Looking ahead, the bullish gap left on Wednesday around 21,500-21,480 is likely to act as strong support, before that the previous resistance around 21,600, which will serve as immediate support.
The upcoming session is a monthly expiry and holds significant importance from the calendar year-end point. Expect potential price settlements and increased volatility. Traders can view this as an opportunity and explore trending trading opportunities.
Rupak De, Senior Technical Analyst at LKP Securities
Nifty experienced a significant rally as Put writers amassed substantial positions at 21,500. Additionally, the daily chart showcased a breakout from consolidation. The Relative Strength Index (RSI) indicates a bullish crossover, coinciding with the index positioned above a crucial moving average. Looking ahead, the index potentially aims for a range between 21,750-21,800 on the upside, with support resting at 21,500.
