The next crucial resistance level for the index is placed near 10,300 levels but as long as Nifty trades above 10200 bulls are likely to have an upper hand, suggest experts.
The Nifty which opened at 10,186 slipped to an intraday low of 10171. Bulls charged on D-Street in the second half of trading session to push the index to its intraday high of 10,255. The Nifty closed 33 points higher at 10,245.
“Defying negative rumblings from the overnight global cues bulls have chosen to march ahead on Indian bourses after a brief intraday consolidation before signing off the day with a decent bullish candle formation,” Mazhar Mohammad, Chief Strategist –Technical Research & Trading Advisory, Chartviewindia.in told Moneycontrol.
“In this process, they approached the supply line of a 22-day old down sloping channel whose value is placed around 10240 levels for next session. If they manage to successfully negotiate this resistance point then on a sustainable breakout a new target towards 10600 will be thrown out from the breakout point of this downsloping channel,” he said.
