Nifty short-term trend positive, must hold above 18700 for considerable upmove; buy these two stocks for gains

By Nagaraj Shetti

After showing a sustainable upmove in the last couple of sessions, NSE Nifty shifted into a consolidation movement with a positive bias on Wednesday and closed the day higher by 52 points. The opening upside gap has been filled partially. A small negative candle was formed on the daily chart with minor upper and lower shadow. Technically, this pattern indicates a high wave or Doji type candle pattern after a rise. Normally, such candle formations after a reasonable rise signal volatility at the highs, and sometimes, it acts as a reversal pattern post confirmation.
