NIFTY      
CLOSE- 11360.80 (03.08.2018)

The market closed the 2nd consecutive week in positive territory. It has extended on the upside as expected last week. It made a high of 11,390.55 levels on Nifty & 37,711.87 levels on Sensex so far in the rally during this week. One can expect the market to trend towards further higher levels targets as mentioned below in short to medium term. Any kind of short-term consolidation or correction is stock specific buying opportunity till short-term reverses.

Midcap & Small cap indices also closed weekly in positive territory. We have seen outperformance in broader market during the week. It will catch up with main indices with faster face & relatively outperform in the coming months of the calendar year 2018. One should still find out an opportunity to buy quality beaten down stocks of midcap & small cap index from medium to long-term perspectives.

The short-term outlook for the market remains positive till Nifty trades above 10,929 levels and expecting targets in the range of 11,500- 11,600 levels in short term. Medium term outlook for the market remains positive till Nifty trades above 8,968 levels and expecting targets in the range of 12,000-12,200 levels in the medium term.

Nifty Bank closed weekly in positive territory. It has also extended rally on the upside as expected last week. It made a high of 27,872.10 levels so far in this rally & made fresh all-time high during this week. 26,000 levels is strong support for Nifty Bank for short-term, till it holds one can expect higher levels targets till 28,400 levels in short-term & further above 29,800-30,000 levels in the medium term. Any kind of decline is also buying opportunity for Nifty Bank for short to medium term perspectives.

11,000 & 11,500 levels is strong support & resistance levels respectively based on option open interest data for current month series expiry perspectives. As expected market has made new lifetime high on Nifty & Sensex so far & by looking at current structure, I feel market is going to surpass all-time high soon on rest of the other indices such as BSE 500, Midcap & Small cap indices as well in coming months & this rally will have time wise consolidation rather than price wise correction in short term. Any kind of such short-term correction or consolidation is buying opportunity for medium to long-term Investment perspectives till medium term reverses.

Momentum indicators Daily KST & DAILY MACD both are in BUY supporting the short-term trend. One should be stock specific & follow the trend with trail stop loss levels till it reverses. Close below short-term reversal levels will lead to sharp correction till 10,500-10,400 levels on Nifty & 34,900-34,300 levels on Sensex in short term.
