Nifty technicals: Sameet Chavan, chief analyst-technical and derivatives, Angel Broking
“…Indices seemed to have lost clear direction and are clearly trapped in a range…For Nifty, if 11570 is taken out, we would see some extension towards 11625 – 11675 levels and if this has to happen, the banking stocks needs to replicate yesterday’s move. On the flipside, 11450 followed by 11380 are to be seen as key supports. Yesterday for the second day, stocks from the broader market kept buzzing. However, this is nowhere similar to mid n small cap rally that we witnessed in previous couple of months. Hence, one needs to pick the right stock and should keep booking timely profits. Apart from this, Pharma stocks had a good first half yesterday after a brief pause of nearly 2-3 weeks. We reiterate, one should follow stock specific moves but avoid aggressive bets.”
