Index trend and stocks in action March 06, 2018

Nifty opened the session with a downside gap and, thereafter, the index witnessed a drastic fall which was clearly a catch-up move with global peers as our markets remained closed on account of the Holi holiday. To conclude, Nifty ended the session below the 10,400-mark. The price action formed a long bear candle with the gap-down opening. Going ahead, the zone of 10,270-10,300 is very crucial for the Nifty and a decisive breach of this support zone may trigger a sell-off which may drag the market up to the levels of 10,200-10,080 in the near term. On the upside, the gap area of March 5, 2018 (10,429-10,447) will play out as the resistance area.
