Index trend and stocks in action October 26, 2018
The NSE benchmark Nifty opened the session with a downside gap and continued to drift lower in the early part of the session. On the way down, the index formed a new swing low at the 10,079 level, and in the last leg of trading, a gradual upside recovery was seen, yet the Nifty ended the day with loss of 0.98 per cent. The price action resulted in a Doji candlestick pattern formation. Going ahead, the level of 10,079 is likely to act as an immediate support level for the Nifty and the selling pressure is likely to intensify once the index breaks this support zone, and in that case, Nifty may test the level of 9952, which is the low registered in the month of March. On the upside, the level of 10,240 is likely to act as a resistance for the Nifty. The 14-period RSI on the daily time frame shows a bullish divergence against the price.
