Index trend and stocks in action May 31, 2018

It was a rollercoaster ride for the NSE benchmark Nifty on the penultimate day of the expiry of the May derivative series. After opening with a gap-down, Nifty bounced back from the lower levels to end above the 10,600-mark with a modest loss of 0.18%. The price action formed a small body positive candle. In the coming session, if Nifty holds above the 100-day SMA which stands at level of 10,554, it would keep positive options open to challenge the recent swing high of 10,717. However, a follow-through move below the 100-day SMA could lead to a further decline up to the level of 10,500. On the eve of the derivatives expiry, we could witness volatile moves in the second half of the trading session.
