Index trend and stocks in action October 30, 2018

The NSE benchmark Nifty opened the session on a positive note but gave away most of the morning gains in the initial minutes of the session and marked a low of 10,020. Thereafter, the index witnessed stupendous rally and ended the day above the 10,250 mark with handsome gains of 2.20 per cent. The price action formed a significant bullish candle. Going ahead, it seems like the pullback rally may extend further and the level of 10,290 will possibly act as a resistance level, but a sustainable move above this level would initiate yet another spell of short-covering which could take the index towards the zone of 10,400-10,440 as this zone is the confluence of 20-DSMA and 61.8 per cent retracement level of recent fall from 10,710 to 10,004.55. Having said that, it would be important for the Nifty to stay above 10,180-10,200 levels.
