Index trend and stocks in action July 18, 2019
The Nifty extended its upmove for the third straight session on Wednesday and ended with gain of 0.21 per cent at 11,687.50. The price action formed a small bull candle with minor upper and lower shadows and carrying higher high-low. Going ahead, the zone of 11,725-11,735, which is the confluence of 50 per cent retracement of the current downmove and important short term moving average, i.e. 20-DMA, is likely to act as a resistance area. We believe a decisive move above area of 11,725-11,735 would lead to continuation of the current pullback rally towards 11,782-11,800, which is the confluence of 61.8 per cent retracement of the downmove from 11,982-11,461 and the downside gap area of July 8. In the coming session, on the downside, support is seen around 11,620-11,650 region.
