Technical calls and Nifty outlook by Devarsh Vakil & Vinay Rajani - PCG Desk, HDFC Securities:
 
Nifty Outlook
 
Yesterday, Nifty failed to surpass the previous top resistance of 10638, to close at 10554. Yesterday’s fall from the higher levels seems like a regular profit booking, which does not violate the probability of extending the pullback in the Nifty towards the next target of 10700-10750.  Last week, Nifty formed bullish candlestick pattern known as “Dragonfly Doji” on the weekly charts. This pattern signals indecision among traders. It's formed when the security's high, open, and close prices are the same. The long lower shadow suggests that the forces of supply and demand are nearing a balance and that the direction of the trend may be nearing a major turning point. There is strong support at 10500 levels, around which Nifty should be bought into, with the stop loss of 10450.

CMP: Rs 64.05

Stock price is trading above its 20, 50, 100 and 200 DMA, which indicates bullish setup for medium to long term. Oscillators and momentum Indicators showing strength on the medium or long term chart.  Recent price fall of 10% seems to be a running correction in overall bullish trend. Considering the technical evidences discussed above, we recommend selling the stock between 64 and 62, for the target of 69, keeping a stop loss at 60 on closing basis.
 
BUY:  Interglobe Aviation
