Day trading guide for stock market today
Speaking on day trading strategy for Tuesday, Nagaraj Shetti, Technical Research Analyst at HDFC Securities said, “Occurrence of high volatility in the market (formation of doji) at the lows, placement of crucial support and not showing any sharp weakness post downside breakout of range movement are all pointing towards possible comeback of bulls from the lows. A sustainable move above 17,800 is expected to confirm the trend reversal on the upside. The important event of Union Budget of 1st February is going to set fresh direction for the market in the short term.”
Nagaraj Shetti of HDFC Securities went on to add that Nifty has sustained above the important support of 200day EMA at 17,550 levels in the last two sessions, after violating below it. The said moving average has offered important supports and resistances in the past and that has resulted in a substantial movement on either side.
Expecting a comeback of market bulls, Nagraj Shetti said, “After showing decisive downside breakout of broader range movement of 18200-17800 levels on Friday, the Nifty not showing any sharp follow-through weakness on Monday could be a positive sign for the bulls to make a comeback from the lows.”
