Tech View: Nifty forms bullish piercing candle. What traders should do on Thursday expiry

Nifty on Wednesday ended 215 points higher to form a bullish piercing line candle on the daily chart and was placed at the hurdle of mid part of Tuesday’s long bear candle at 21,500 level.
The short-term trend of Nifty seems to have reversed up, but the uncertainty remains in the market at the highs. The market could encounter strong resistance around 21,500-21,600 levels in the coming session. Immediate support is at 21,220 level, said Nagaraj Shetti of HDFC Securities.

The hourly momentum indicator has triggered a positive crossover which is a buy signal.

What should traders do? Here’s what analysts said:

Rupak De, Senior Technical Analyst, LKP Securities

The Nifty exhibited volatility throughout the day following a weak start. On the hourly chart, the index began displaying initial signs of a reversal. However, it closed below the resistance level of 21,500. A decisive move above 21,500 could potentially trigger a significant rally in the index. On the downside, support is situated at 21,400-21,350. A confirmed breakthrough above 21,500 may propel the index towards 21,700 and beyond.

On the daily charts, we can observe that Nifty has held on the 40-day average, which was placed at 21,234. Going ahead, we expect Nifty to face resistance in the zone of 21,500 – 21,520 where the key hourly moving averages are placed. Traders should look for signs of weakness around the resistance zone before initiating shorts as there is a possibility of a deeper retracement till 21,780 – 21,800 where the hourly upper Bollinger band is placed. On the downside, 21,250 – 21,220 shall act as a crucial support zone from short-term perspective while 21,500 – 21,520 is the immediate hurdle zone from short-term perspective.(Subscribe to ETMarkets WhatsApp channel) (Disclaimer: Recommendations, suggestions, views and opinions given by the experts are their own.
