Index trend and stocks in action December 04, 2018

The NSE benchmark Nifty witnessed a gap-up opening, however, it failed to build upon early gains as traders preferred to take profits off the table and the index consolidated throughout the day. At the end of the day, it settled with a gain of 0.06 per cent at 10,884. The price action formed a small bear candle, suggesting extended breather after a strong rally. Going ahead, Nifty is likely to continue its consolidation and the 100-day moving average, which is placed around the level of 10,959, is likely to act as a stiff resistance for the index. On the downside, immediate support for the Nifty is placed around the level of 10,835, followed by 10,746, which is 200-day moving average.
