Index trend and stocks in action March 13, 2019

The Nifty, after witnessing a gap-up opening, continued its uptrend throughout the day. Nifty managed to surpass its crucial 11,300 mark. The price action formed a strong bull candle post the gap-up opening, carrying higher high-low, indicating follow-through buying. Going ahead, the trend certainly remains in favour of the bulls, but we would advise to be cautious as the current upsurge has been too fast and furious. Hence, we may see a period of consolidation or profit-taking in the coming sessions. Immediate support for the Nifty is placed at 11,240 level, followed by the gap area of Tuesday’s session. On the upside, the level of 11,360-11,400 is likely to prove as a resistance zone for the bulls
