Index trend and stocks in action August 07, 2019
The Nifty opened on a negative note, but started recovering soon thereafter. As the day progressed, bulls stiffened their grip and Nifty reclaimed its crucial psychological level of 11,000 on intra-day basis. However, in the end, the index came off its intra-day high and ended at 10,948, up by 86 points. The price action formed a sizeable bullish candle carrying higher high-low. However, if we analyze the past two trading sessions, the candlestick pattern after a formation of hammer pattern had seen follow-up buying and, as a result, there is formation of a bullish engulfing like candlestick pattern (not a perfect text-book pattern). Going ahead, immediate resistance for the Nifty is around the 11,000 mark and the bulls needs to sustain above the 11,000 mark for at least two to three days and only then the bulls will gain confidence. On the downside, 10,880 is likely to act as an immediate support level, followed by the 10,800. Volatility may be seen in today’s session owing to the outcome of the RBI’s monetary policy and the range of 10,800-11,000 is a crucial range for the index.
