Index trend and stocks in action January 21, 2019

The NSE benchmark Nifty closed the week by imitating the previous day’s price action. The Nifty ended the day with a negligible gain of 0.02 per cent. The price action formed a small body negative candle with long lower shadow, which indicates emergence of buying at lower levels. In the coming session, we expect a bullish start to the trading and post the bullish start the opening levels of the index and its behaviour vis-à-vis the level of 10,950 will be important to watch. A decisive move beyond this level may open gates for further upside towards the levels of 11,050-11,090, whereas on the downside, the level of 10,840 is likely to act as an immediate support, followed by 10,770.
