Stocks to buy: ICICI Bank and DLF looking attractive, here’s why
Indian stock market: A piercing line pattern, typically signaling a bullish reversal post-correction, has emerged on the daily chart. Moreover, the indicator has exceeded the 55EMA, indicating a positive short-term trend with a close above this moving average. In the upcoming period, bullish momentum may propel the Nifty’s rebound towards the 22,300 mark. Additionally, a firm breakthrough above 22,300 could initiate a prolonged rally towards 22,600. Conversely, on the downside, support at a closing basis rests at 22,000.
Bank Nifty
The Bank Nifty Index showcased robust bullish momentum, evidenced by the formation of a bullish piercing candlestick pattern at the support level of 46,500. The index faces immediate resistance at 48,000, where substantial open interest on the call side poses a notable obstacle. Between 47,200 and 47,000, the index has established immediate support. Pullbacks toward this support zone are perceived as opportunities for buying, indicating sustained bullish sentiment as long as these levels remain intact.
