Where is the Nifty headed?
From March 2020 lows, Nifty had formed a ‘Bullish Flag’ pattern which consisted of a pole with six quarterly candles. We have precisely reached the target (26,276) of this pattern. Staying light and avoiding aggressive positions seems to be a prudent strategy. 26,000 zone is likely to provide a cushion, followed by a series of support from 25,800 to 25,700. The levels of 26,250–26,300 are immediate hurdles.
What should investors do?
We would avoid going aggressively long. We recommend buying UBL on a decline for a target of Rs 2,290. Traders can participate by following strict stop loss at Rs 2,098. Looking at Friday’s movement, it seems that HDFC Bank is likely to take a breather in the coming days. Only aggressive traders are advised to short on a bounce up to Rs 1,765 -1,770 for a target of Rs 1,710 – 1,690. Stop loss needs to be placed at Rs 1,802.

Where is the Nifty headed?
Last week saw auto, FMCG, metals, banking & IT witness outperformance and we expect the same to continue. Key support for Bank Nifty is at 10-day EMA of 53,350 zone which also coincides with the previous all-time high. Till 53,350 holds, Bank Nifty may continue its momentum up to 55,000. The 10-day EMA zone of 25,850-25,900 will act as crucial support for Nifty and the index could steadily inch higher towards 26,500-26,700. In case 25,850 is breached, profi t booking up to 25,300 cannot be ruled out. Weekly options data and India VIX sustaining around 12 levels suggest consolidation with a positive bias for Nifty within the 25,800-26,650 range this week.
What should investors do?
We expect large-cap names from banking as well as power, auto, IT, metals, oil marketing cos and pharma to outperform. Positive trade set-up is visible in Reliance, Bajaj Finance, Maruti, M&M, TVS Motors, Eicher Motors, Gail, BPCL, Tata Power, and ICICI Bank. In mid-caps, Polycab, ABC and CEAT could continue to witness strong buying.
