Index trend and stocks in action June 27, 2019

After opening the session on a slightly negative note, Nifty soon managed to pull back smartly in the green and, thereafter, the index traded with positive bias throughout the day. In the midst of the session, Nifty did manage to move above the 20-DMA, but it failed to close above the 20-DMA as the index came off its intra-day high and ended the Wednesday’s session with modest gains. The price action formed a bullish candle carrying higher high-low, which indicates follow-up buying. Let us wait and watch whether or not Nifty sustains above its 20-DMA. Sustaining above the 20-DMA may extend the current rally towards the level of 11,920, which is 61.8 per cent retracement of the recent fall. However, closing above the 11,920 level will take the index above the 12,000 mark. Expect volatility to remain elevated in the second half of the trading session on the eve of F&O expiry of June series.
