Index trend and stocks in action September 24, 2019
The Nifty continued its euphoric rally for the second straight day on Monday as traders cheered the historic cut in corporate tax rate. The Nifty rallied about 3 per cent to close at 11,600 mark. The price action of the day formed a sizable bull candle carrying shadow on either side along with an unfilled opening upside gap. The Nifty has rallied about 900 points from the lower levels in the last two trading sessions and on Monday it has almost retraced about 78 per cent of the sharp fall which was triggered post the Union Budget announcement of additional surcharge. With back to back strong move by the bulls the Nifty has managed to comfortably trade above its important moving averages i.e. 50, 100 and 200-DMA. Now, Nifty is trading about 3 per cent above its 200-DMA. In the coming session, Monday’s session high of 11,694 would be a crucial level to watch out on the upside as sustaining above this level would open up for further up-move towards level of 11,800 followed by 11,880. However, with the size and the speed of up-move we have witnessed in the index and also, the Nifty now closed out of the Bollinger Bands. As a rule, the price must come into the bands before move further high within two to three days. Hence, we believe a phase of consolidation might be seen in the index and during this consolidation phase the opening upside gap which was formed on 23rd September would now act as a crucial support for the index and any pullback towards these support level should be utilized to initiate a long position. At the same time, we believe investors and traders should look for stock specific opportunities which are likely to outperform hereon.
