Speaking on outlook for Nifty today, Nagaraj Shetti, Technical Research Analyst at HDFC Securities said, “After a sharp upside bounce of 8th February, the market has been consolidating in the last couple of sessions and this could be a part of range movement. The Nifty could eventually breakout of the pattern on the upside in the near term. Immediate support for NSE Nifty is at 17,760 levels and the next overhead resistance to be watched around 18,000 levels.”

Giving outlook for Nifty in the week ahead, Rohan Patil, Technical Analyst at SAMCO Securities said, “In the coming week, 17,600 will be sacrosanct support for the index, while 18,000 could be an immediate hurdle. A break above 18,000 levels will infuse buying towards 18,250 levels.”

Expecting upside trigger on Dalal Street, Ruchit Jain, Lead Research at 5paisa.com said, “The global markets have done well recently but our markets have not seen such a move and have underperformed the global peers. The main reason for the underperformance has been the selling by the FIIs who have sold equities in the cash segment and have been sellers in the index futures segment too. Their ‘Long Short Ratio’ in the index futures segment is around 19 percent. These positions are short heavy and any positive trigger could lead to short covering by them. This would be the major trigger for the market and hence, traders should keep a close watch on their positions.”
