Nifty started off the week on a positive note tracking strong US jobs data. Nifty opened slightly higher than the previous day’s high, consolidated till the afternoon session and then gave a robust upside to close higher. Nifty gained 1.9 per cent adding 195 points to close at 10421. The bounce-back could be the continuation of short covering. Nifty has surged near to its major resistance at 10440-10445 levels, which is its prior resistance and 61.8 per cent retracement of the sharp downward rally. Hence, if Nifty retreats from here, we hold 10300-10285, followed by 10140 as the supports. However, Nifty has hit and closed above its 100-day EMA resistance at 10403 level and hence, if it continues to rally, we hold 10445-10495 as the immediate resistances followed by 10630.
