Index trend and stocks in action April 30, 2018

NSE benchmark Nifty started the session with a decent gap up opening and extended its upmove to reclaim 10,700 mark, but marginal profit booking towards the end of the session resulted in the index settling shy of 10,700 mark. The price action formed a bull candle. After attempting to breakout of the key resistance area of 10,630-10,650 for the past four trading session, Nifty finally witnessed a upside breakout of the key overhead resistance of 10,630-10,650 with a gap up opening and as per gap theory, if this gap remains open for the next couple of trading, then the gap could be considered as a bullish runaway gap. Nifty is currently placed at the key hurdle of 10,705 as it is the 61.8 retracement of decline from the high of 11,171 to the low of 9,952. A decisive move above Friday’s session high of 10,720 could see the index testing levels of 10,800.
