Markets Ahead

Completely unexpected recovery!

5 mins, daily candle, 1 hour.. different time frame candles of the last three trading days were indicating weakness in the market.

Some buying was expected this week. But on Friday Nifty closed below 18,000,17,960 and 17,900 supports. And today, Nifty is back above all these levels and is testing the 18,130-150 resistance zone. Completely unbelievable. 

With my experience, I can say that these types of markets would have more momentum and are very tricky. So trade accordingly. 

If Nifty consolidates around 17,800 for a few more days, it will be easier to recover. Try to analyze volumes in Nifty to get a better idea.

TCS results will be out today and it triggered other IT stocks also. Are we seeing a results rally in the IT sector?  For that to happen Nifty IOT should clear 28,700-29,100 regions.
