It was a great week for the equity market as the benchmark indices rallied 2 percent, marching towards record highs seen a couple of weeks back. The BSE Sensex closed above the psychological 60,000 mark and the Nifty50 ended at record closing high, driven by auto, IT stocks and Reliance Industries.

The market received consistent buying support at every fall, which clearly indicated that bulls did not want to lose the game. And, as a result, the index could cross 18,000 mark if the momentum is sustained. Experts, however, advised against taking aggressively long positions.

“Considering the recent behaviour of the market, it is pretty clear that the bulls are not willing to let loose their firm grip so easily. But we reiterate that it is that sort of phase of the market, which may not be easy to participate in,” said Sameet Chavan, Chief Analyst-Technical and Derivatives at Angel One.

“We are not at all convinced about trading aggressively on the long side at this moment. Yes, there could be odd thematic moves that can be focused on, but do not want to go all guns blazing at such elevated levels,” he said.

As far as the levels are concerned, Sameet Chavan feels 17,900–17,950 remains to be a sturdy wall and on the flipside, 17,600 has become a sacrosanct support now. “The way we are following the US markets of late; all eyes are on their movement.”

Cigniti Technologies: Buy | LTP: Rs 626.40 | Stop Loss: Rs 602 | Target: Rs 670 | Return: 7 percent

On Friday, the entire IT space was on a roll just ahead of the TCS numbers. Mostly, ‘Cigniti Technologies’ does not come into our recommendation list; but the way this smaller IT name moved on Friday, it has certainly caught our attention. On the daily time frame chart, we can witness a series of higher highs higher lows and now the momentum oscillator like ‘RSI-Smoothened’ is sloping upwards, which is a sign of strength.

We recommend buying for a short-term target of Rs 670. The stop loss can be placed at Rs 602.
