Unveiling intraday trading tips for Friday session, Nagaraj Shetti, Technical Research Analyst at HDFC Securities said, “The market has shifted into a consolidation after an upside bounce and there is a possibility of further range movement or minor weakness in the next 1-2 sessions before showing upside bounce from the lows. Immediate support for NSE Nifty is placed at 18,000 to 17,950 levels.”

“The negative sentiment from the US. markets led to a negative opening for our markets. But the impact was limited as the Asian markets had not reacted much and hence, our market did not witness any sharp correction,” said Ruchit Jain, Lead Research at 5paisa.com.

Ruchit Jain went on to ad that Nifty has given a breakout from a consolidation phase this week and hence, declines towards the support are now likely to witness buying interest. The FII’s have covered their short positions in last couple of sessions which was the major factor behind our market’s underperformance recently. Their ‘Long Short Ratio’ has now increased to around 50 per cent which was about 38 per cent. Hence, the chart structure as well as data are not negative now.
