} } After a rout in the previous week, the market rebounded with more than half a percent gains for week ended March 3, driven by Friday’s smart rally of 1.5 percent. The Nifty50 has formed a decent bullish candlestick pattern with long lower shadow on the weekly scale, indicating support-based buying at lower levels.”Formation of such pattern after the sharp weakness of previous week signal chances of upside bounce for the market ahead,” Nagaraj Shetti, Technical Research Analyst at HDFC Securities, said.The index jumped 129 points to 17,594 for the week, tad above 200-day EMA (exponential moving average – Rs 17,582).In the coming sessions, 17,700-17,800 levels (5 and 21 EMA – exponential moving average on weekly scale) are expected to be next resistance area for the index and if the said levels get passed then psychological 18,000 mark which coincides with 20-day SMA (simple moving average) is likely to be crucial hurdle, with the support at 17,400-17,255 area, experts said.The broader markets outperformed frontline indices on positive breadth as the Nifty Midcap 100 index jumped 2 percent and Smallcap 100 index climbed 1 percent during the week.”17,500 is now likely to be seen as the immediate support zone, while the sacrosanct support lies around the 17,350-17,400 zone, coinciding with the 200 SMA. On the flip side, the bearish gap of 17,770-17,800 is expected to act as the sturdy hurdle for Nifty in a comparable period,” Sameet Chavan, Chief Analyst-Technical and Derivatives at Angel One said.Going forward, he advised the traders to utilize the dips to add long position in the index.Simultaneously, one should also keep a close tab on the midcap space, which is expected to provide immense trading opportunities in the near period, he said.Let’s take a look at the top 10 trading ideas by experts for the next three-four weeks.
