Angel One: We are likely to have consolidation in the coming trading session too on the back of the extended weekend.

Sameet Chavan, chief analyst-technical and derivatives, Angel One Ltd: The US markets climbed overnight after the easing of the inflation report and yesterday morning too, they extended the lead. This development resulted in a bump up at the opening in our markets, mirroring the SGX NIFTY. It appeared as if we were going to witness a bumper session on weekly expiry. Still, the follow-up was clearly missing as the benchmark index Nifty chose to consolidate in merely 60 points throughout the remaining part of the session. Eventually, the day ended with seven-tenths of percent gains; but convincingly below the opening level.

We had a muted session on Wednesday and if we exclude the opening gap, yesterday’s session was more lethargic than the previous one (for NIFTY). However, the other high beta heavyweight index, BANKNIFTY had its own plans. Unlike the Nifty, the banking index extended its gains as the day progressed and eventually ended the session almost at the highest point with more than one and half a percent gains. It would be interesting to see the activities in global bourses today; because one more round of buying there would probably provide the much-needed force to surpass yesterday’s high. For the coming session, 17720 followed by 17780 are to be seen as immediate hurdles; whereas on the flip side, 17630 – 17560 are to be treated as intraday supports.

In our sense, we are likely to have consolidation in the coming trading session too on the back of the extended weekend. Hence, as a momentum trader, we would advise traders to lighten up positions at higher levels. One can continue to focus on individual stocks; because the thematic moves are still playing out well in the market.
