    Is there strength in the market?

    During the (previous) week, we did participate in the relief move but directionally, we are still a bit sceptical whether the market has enough strength to surpass the higher boundary of this range. Hence, one needs to now start lightening up longs if Nifty extends the relief move in the coming sessions. On the flip side, we sense the base has shifted higher and the bullish gap left on Wednesday at 17250 - 17300 is to be seen as key support. We witnessed many astonishing moves in midcap and small-cap stocks and traders can continue with the stock-centric approach; however they need to be very selective going ahead as we are approaching the resistance zone.

    Trading spot band between 17650 and 17370

    Historically it is seen that the Nifty finds it difficult to move up sharply when it's cost-of-carry at higher side.. So more consolidation is expected till this premium doesn't start getting lower. The Call writer's positions are still lower than Put writer's which means the declines in the index should be arrested and it should be more stock specific market

    For the coming session, the trading spot band is between 17650 and 17370, which means further upsides are likely once the immediate resistances of 17650 are taken out and weakness could emerge if the supports of 17370 are broken.
