Index trend and stocks in action February 27, 2018

Nifty opened the day with a gap-up on the back of positive global cues and continued its rally throughout the session. Nifty concluded the session just shy of the 10,600-mark. The price action led to formation of a bull candle. Nifty is approaching towards the key resistance zone of 10,630-10,645; as previously this zone had offered strong resistance to the index and led to the decline in the index. Going forward, a sustainable move above the zone of 10,630-10,645 could lead to further upmove to the levels of 10,700-10,730, whereas failure to do so could lead to a slide down to the levels of 10,520-10,500.
