Index trend and stocks in action on June 02, 2020

It was a marvellous Monday for Nifty as it jumped above 9,800 mark and ended the day with net gains of over 2.5 per cent. Nifty started off the session with a gap-up and the gains accelerated as the day progressed. However, in the end, Nifty came off about 100 points from its high but still managed to post strong gains for the day.

The price action of the day formed a bull candle with an upper shadow, which indicated profit booking at higher levels after almost 900 points rally from the low of May 27. Nifty surpassed its swing high of April 30 but registered a lower close as compared to April 30.

Nifty has filled the gap of May 4 with a gap-up opening and managed to sustain above the gap-area. Going ahead, this gap-area (9,707-9,599) is going to act as a support area. On the upside, the level of 9,940-10,000 is likely to act as a strong resistance area.

With a strong rally of almost 900 points from the lower levels of May 25, majority of the indicators have reached an overbought condition. Hence, we might see some consolidation or a phase of cool-off in the index. It’s important that the index, during this phase of consolidation or profit booking, should hold above 9,700 mark.
