Index trend and stocks in action June 19, 2019

In a volatile session, the Nifty ended the session with a modest gain of 0.17 per cent at 11,691. The price action of the day formed a small body bull candle which resembles a high wave like candle. In Tuesday’s session, despite high volatility, the index managed to defend its 50-DMA. As long as the index manages to defend its 50-DMA, a technical pullback cannot be ruled out. In case it fails to hold and stays below the 50-DMA (11,681), the selling pressure is likely to accelerate, and in that case, the Nifty is likely to approach towards the upper band of the gap area, i.e. 11,592-11,426, which also coincides with the 50 per cent retracement level of the upswing from May 14 to June 3. On the other side, the zone of 11,730-11,770 will be a strong supply zone.
