On the daily chart, we observe that Nifty remains in a short term uptrend. The Nifty is however near the previous high of 18,778, which could act as a resistance in the near term. We expect the Nifty to continue its upward journey. Short term sell offs are however not ruled out given that the Nifty is near some resistances. Crucial supports to watch for a short term trend reversal are at 18,555.
