Index trend and stocks in action May 17, 2019
The Nifty, after moving in a slender range in the first half of the trading session, surged higher in the second half of trading session and ended the session above the 11,250 mark. Since the last two trading sessions, Nifty has been moving within the Tuesday’s range and this has resulted in formation of double inside bar. Over the last four trading sessions, Nifty has been moving in the range of 11,300-11,108. Hence, trend traders will keep an eye on two levels, namely, 11,108 and 11,300, and breakout on the either side will result in a trending move. If bulls manage to surpass the resistance level of 11,300, Nifty may scale higher towards the levels of 11,370-11,400. On the downside, breach of 11,108 would result in a correction towards the level of 11,000.
