Index trend and stocks in action December 21, 2017

During the previous trading session, Nifty opened at a new record level. However, it failed to sustain at the peak levels as it witnessed profit-booking at higher levels. This was followed by some consolidation, and in the last hour of trading, another bout of profit-booking emerged and, as a result, Nifty concluded the session below 10,450. The price action resulted in formation of a candle which resembled a bearish belt hold pattern at the new highs. Going forward, we expect the zone of 10,400-10,410 to be a strong support zone for the index as it is the resistance-turned-support level. On the upside, a follow through move above the Wednesday highs would lead to further upmove up to the levels of 10,560 and 10,600.
