At Last! Nifty Moves Up


Finally, we witnessed a rally that was able to sustain for a whole session. Nifty opened on a slightly positive note and kept on building momentum as the day progressed. It was a mix of buying in some stronger counters like Hindalco and short covering in highly oversold counters like DLF and others. Heavyweights like SBI, L&T, RIL and Tata Motors witnessed some interest at lower levels and for a change this interest persisted for the whole day. Bharti was the biggest gainer amongst the index heavyweights as it gained over 5%. Some of the other big gainers were Polaris, DLF, HDIL, JP Associates, Syndicate bank, Renuka, REC, Bata, IVRCL Infra, Hindalco, Sintex, HCC, Adani and Exide. But , there were a few that remained on the selling list. The list includes Sobha, Cummins, Voltas, OFSS, Ashok Leyland, IOC and HCL Tech. Nifty managed to close above 5500.

Nifty faces immediate resistance at around 5540-50 but as stated earlier also we believe that the rebound has some more legs to it and Nifty could inch up towards 5650-5680. The efforts to break below 5400 have been unsuccessful despite strong negative sentiments. It seems that combination of short covering and value buying could sustain Nifty and should it take it higher. Even the weaker stocks/ sectors like realty and infra could also move higher on short covering. The stronger stocks are Hindalco, Bharti, Sterlite, TCS and Tata Steel. Banks have seen consolidation for past 7-10 sessions and could now move higher. The better looking charts in the short term are SBI, ICICI, Syndicate bank, Indusind Bank and Union bank. Bank Nifty might move above 11000 in coming sessions. Hindalco has given a break out above 240 and one can accumulate it for next technical target of around Rs 265.

Nifty has immediate support around 5465-70 while above 5550 it could move to around 5620-30.
