Index trend and stocks in action December 30, 2019
Friday’s resurgence by the bulls aided Nifty to pare most of its losses for the week. With this, the January F&O series began with a bang. On a weekly basis, the index ended with a marginal loss of 0.21 per cent. It formed a Doji like candlestick pattern on the weekly time scale and could not cross the prior week high.
Nifty corrected about 170 points from its all-time high level in the three sessions; however, it retraced back 61.8 per cent of the recent fall from its all-time high levels. Going ahead, the index, if sustains above the Friday’s session high of 12,258, may attempt to retest its all-time high level of 12,294. On the flip side, the level of 12,180-12,200 is likely to act as an immediate support level.
All-in-all, Nifty's trend is bullish and any dips are expected to attract buyers, as long as the prior week's low of 12,118 is protected. The stock-specific action is likely to be a witness and a fresh momentum on the buy-side will be seen on closing above the 12,300 mark.
