Index trend and stocks in action January 02, 2019

The NSE benchmark Nifty traded in the negative terrain for the first-half of the trading session and, thereafter, it traded in a sideways trajectory. However, buying interest in the last leg of trading helped the index to close above the 10,900 mark with a gain of 0.44 per cent. The price action formed a small body bull candle carrying long lower shadow, which rebounded from 61.8 per cent retracement level of the recent downmove. Going ahead, a follow-through move above the identical high (10,923) of the last two candles would open up the next leg of the rally towards 10,985 and 11,090. On the downside, the level of 10,800 is likely to act as a crucial support level.
