Share Market Update

The index managed to trade with positivity led by the heavyweight Reliance Ind. and due to some recovery in the beaten down counters such as Infy and HDFC. However, the banking space relatively underperformed throughout the day and the banking index ended marginally negative.

Now, if we look at Nifty, the index has formed an ‘Inside Bar’ today at the support zone. Such a pattern signals some consolidation, but many times they set up indications for trend reversals in technical analysis.

Since this pattern is formed at the support, the follow up move will be very important now and a move above Tuesday’s high of 17275 will lead to a confirmation of the resumption of the uptrend in Nifty. On the flipside, this support of 16800-16850 will be crucial as if this is breached, then the index will continue the correction towards the next support of 16600.

At this juncture, we advice traders to look for follow up move and trade aggressively only on a breakout beyond 16800-17275 range. Till then, focusing on stock specific approach could be a better strategy for trading.
