Sameet Chavan, Chief Analyst-Technical and Derivatives, Angel One:
For the coming session, we expect the range bound move to continue where 17950 – 18000 are likely to act as immediate hurdles and on the lower side, 17800 – 17700 are to be seen as key supports.
Traders are advised not to trade aggressively in index and in case of a recovery towards the mentioned resistance zone of 18000 – 18100, one should lighten up existing longs.
Also all eyes would be on Bank Nifty, because if Nifty has to reclaim these levels, it needs to continue its upwards trajectory with some intent. One needs to focus on individual stocks; but needs to be very selective because only few counters are likely to do well in such kind of lethargic mood.
