In the past, three to four occasions whenever the Nifty enters a correction phase, the 21-day exponential moving average has acted as an anchor point for the index. On the open interest front, good participation and open interest addition were seen in the 18000 Call and 17800-17700 Put contracts. Thus, we can expect the broader range of the index to 17700-18000 levels. And recently index has whipsawed its bearish engulfing candlestick pattern on the daily chart and has successfully closed above the high of the pattern. Whenever we saw a failure of a bearish pattern in the index he has witnessed a much stronger trend on the higher side.
As the index is on the verge of the breakout every dip should be utilized as a buying opportunity. If Nifty 50 breaks above 18000 levels then the gate for the prices will be open till 18350 – 18500 levels. Strong support is placed near 17600 – 17550 levels near its 21 DEMA.
