Reality, metal, PSU bank sector witnessed buying which led Nifty to close at 10,840.65 adding 23.05 points. Banknifty closed at 27,172.70 gaining 40.95 points.
 

As per option data for the next week, handful of put writing was seen on lower strikes ranging from 10,650 to 10,800 which will act as support for the weekly expiry. We can witness resistance on higher end at 11,000 and 11,100 as highest OI stand on these strikes. We should keep a positive bias on the Nifty and should keep eye on 10,750 as it will act as major support for Nifty.  

Stock recommendation:

Buy Nestle Ltd: above Rs 12,950
 

Target:  Rs 13,650

The stock is showing resistance breakout from the levels of 12,950 and as stock is making resistance breakout in daily charts, stock is trading above its 200-day EMA and a breakout is expected to result in a good upside momentum. Considering the technical evidence discussed above, we recommend buying the stock above Rs 12,950 for a target of Rs 13,650, keeping a stop loss at Rs 12,500 on closing basis.
 

Buy Hindustan Unilever: Rs 1848
