Index trend and stocks in action November 02, 2018
The NSE benchmark Nifty opened the session with a gap-up, but faced resistance at 61.8 per cent retracement level of the recent downmove and, thereafter, it moved in a defined range. In the end, Nifty settled the day almost unchanged at 10,380. The price action formed a small body negative candle indicating breather after a sharp rally. Going ahead, we expect Nifty to face resistance in the zone of 10,420-10,450 as it is the confluence of the bearish gap formed on October 19 and the 61.8 per cent retracement level of the recent leg of downmove (10,710-10,004.55). On the downside, immediate support is seen around the level of 10,328, which is 20-DMA and the next support is seen around the 10,275 level. In the coming session, we expect the Nifty to consolidate with a positive bias and sustain above the hurdle of 10,420-10,450, which may open up for further upside up to the level of 10,510, followed by 10,580.
