What changed for the market while you were sleeping | Bonaz Capital
The Nifty is likely to open higher on Monday, tracking positive closing
on the Wall Street. The index slipped below its immediate support level
of 5-days exponential moving average (DEMA) on Friday and made a
spinning top kind of pattern on daily candlestick charts.
The only
positive takeaways from Friday’s session is that bulls managed to defend
its crucial support level of 9,400, but for the momentum to continue,
Nifty should take out its previous record high of 9,532 convincingly,
suggest experts.
From current levels, there is a higher probability of a bounce towards 9,500 in the coming sessions. However, bigger moves should not be expected till Nifty closes above 9532 levels, suggest experts.
