Considering the daily time frame, the index has formed a reversal hanging man candlestick pattern. Additionally, the sectoral sentiment indicators suggest extreme overbought for the index as all the stocks are trading above its 200-day simple moving average, which suggest index is likely to witness some consolidation in coming days.

The Friday’s session low of 11,570 is very crucial for the bulls, as holding about this level would enable Nifty to challenge its record high level of 11,760. On the other hand, a failure to hold this support would invite some profit-booking, in which case the level of 11,520 may provide support. Stock in news: Welspun Corp, Cipla, Titan, Jindal Drilling and Industries, Inox Leisure, Tata Motors, EIH Associated Hotels, Mahindra and Mahindra, SRF.

As per early indications from the SGX Nifty, the Friday happy ending is likely to continue on the bourses.

Traders will keep an eye on auto sales figures for the month of March, which will start coming in from today. Also, India’s infrastructure  output for the month of February and the external debt are scheduled to be announced today.
