Technical take: Nifty crossed the short-term resistance of 14,550 yesterday and broader markets participated in the up-move. This hints at bulls taking control on Dalal Street. “A long bull candle was formed, which signal an emergence of strong buying in the market,” said Nagaraj Shetti, Technical Research Analyst, HDFC Securities. With Nifty managing to hold above resistance levels and closing above the hurdle of the previous opening downside gap around 14600 levels, the index has shown strength. “This is a positive indication and signals more upside in the near term,” Shetti added.
Levels to watch out for: There is potential for upside in the near term. “Above 14550/48600 levels, we may see a pullback rally to continue up to 14700-14750/49100-49300.
