The Nifty started the April series on a positive note, with the index comfortably closing above 17,600 and forming a bullish engulfing candle on the daily scale and a bullish candle on the weekly frame.
The Nifty50 seems to have resumed its up move as it registered a decent bullish candle on the weekly charts after a week of pause, said Mazhar Mohammad, Founder & Chief Market Strategist at Chartviewindia.
The indicator setup across time frames was slowly tilting in the favour of bulls again. “Hence, sustaining above 17442 levels an initial logical target of 17814 is looks inevitable in the next one or two trading sessions but there is a bright chance of testing 18k levels somewhere next week,” Mohammad said.
Positional traders can remain long with a stop below 17400 and look for a target in the 17,900–18,000 zone, he added.
The options data suggests an immediate trading range between 17,500 and 18,000.
Maximum Call OI is at 17,500 then 18,000 strike, while maximum Put OI is at 16,000 then 17,000 strike. Marginal Call writing is seen at 17,500 then 18,000 strike, while Put writing is seen at 17,000 strike.
India VIX was down by 10.34 percent from 20.53 to 18.43. It needs to sustain at lower zones for the market to stabilise.
