Further, IT companies will kick start the quarterly result season. Stock-specific swings will be evident. “We expect Nifty bulls to aim for 17500-17707 zone in the near term,” said Prashanth Tapse – Research Analyst, Senior VP (Research), Mehta Equities.

Nifty technical view: A small positive candle was formed on the daily chart with upper and lower shadow. “Technically, this pattern indicates a formation of high wave type candlestick pattern. Having declined from the hurdle of 17425 levels on Thursday, Nifty forming such high wave pattern indicates minimal negative impact on the market post weakness from the hurdle. Hence, this is also signaling that the market could retest the abovesaid resistance in the short term and eventually the resistance could be broken on the upside,” said Nagaraj Shetti, Technical Research Analyst, HDFC Securities.

“Nifty on the weekly chart formed a long bull candle with upper and lower shadow. Hence, this pattern could be a confirmation of bullish hammer pattern that formed in the last week. The underlying uptrend of Nifty remains intact. The consolidation movement may be extended in early part of this week and the market could eventually witness sharp upside bounce from the lows by this week. A decisive upside breakout of the hurdle of 17450 is likely to pull Nifty towards another important resistance of 18000-18100 levels. Immediate support is placed at 17200 levels,” he added.

Levels to watch for: Immediate support and resistance in Nifty 50 are 17200 and 17500 respectively. Bank Nifty immediate support and resistance are at 39000 and 39800 respectively, according to Mohit Nigam, Head – PMS, Hem Securities.
