After a few of days of consolidation, bulls have taken full control of Dalal Street from Wednesday and therefore the Nifty rallied almost near the 17,800-mark on Friday.
However, selling and profit-booking within the last hour of trade made the road cautious. The index fell 44 points on Friday to settle at 17,585.20 and formed a bearish candle on the daily charts, but gained 1.24 percent during the week to make a bullish candle on the weekly scale.
Experts also turned cautious after the stellar run and advised investors to remain light on positions with a strict stop-loss before getting a firm direction within the coming weeks.
“The trend is extremely strong, but honestly, the present move isn’t giving us comfort in the least . We reiterate that when things start to seem hunky-dory and there are not any signs of correction, the market surprises. It’s difficult to predict the precise time, but it is often better to be safe than sorry,” said Sameet Chavan, Chief Analyst, Technical and Derivatives, Angel Broking.
“As of now, we aren’t advising to short but a minimum of one can book profits on a daily intervals and stay light on positions. Friday’s sharp correction from higher levels is clearly a sign of this, and, hence, we continue with our cautious stance,” he said.
As far as levels are concerned, 17,700-17,800 is to be seen because the immediate hurdle. On the flipside, 17,450-17,250 should be treated as key supports. the primary sign of real weakness would come as long as the market starts sliding below the lower range, he said.
“The banking space contributed the lion’s share to the last three days’ rally as we saw Bank Nifty beginning of its long slumber to post a fresh record high. In fact, on, Friday also , the broader market was sulking after the initial upmove. But the banking index managed to shut within the green,” he said. The Bank Nifty rallied 3 percent during the week.
Going ahead, Chavan feels all eyes would get on this heavyweight basket, because if Nifty has got to move towards 18,000, this space must continue its momentum.
In addition, “the broader end of the spectrum had a wonderful run throughout the week, but we saw some decent profit-booking during this space also on the Judgment Day , which doesn’t bode well. Hence, we remain a touch sceptical and that we expect the image to urge clear within the coming week itself.”
