On the upside Nifty may head towards 17900

On the technical front, Nifty formed a long bull candle on the daily chart breaching past the crucial resistance zone of 17500 indicating that positive biasness to continue and more upside is awaited. However, momentum oscillators are witnessing overbought levels, but no signs of exhaustion can be seen yet, the indicator though has flattened during the period. On the downside the psychological level of 17000 which further coincides with the 200dma would be the immediate short term trend deciding level for the market. On the upside one can eventually expect Nifty to head towards 17900 levels as it is 80% retracement of entire decline off October 2021 to June low (18600-15200). Thus, any temporary breather should not be construed as negative instead buy on dips strategy should remain in focus. Tirthankar Das, Technical & Derivative Analyst, Retail, Ashika Stock Broking
