Technical Calls by Gaurav Garg, Head of Research at CapitalVia Global Research Limited- Investment Advisor

Market traded in a range on Friday; Nifty facing 12,170 as an immediate resistance
 

The market traded in a close range on Friday, as traders turned cautious ahead of weekend on uncertainty over Coronavirus. Nifty closed at 12,098.40, slashing 39.60 points. Media, pharma, and metal stocks traded with positive sentiments throughout the day whereas realty and auto stocks witnessed pressure. Nifty bank closed at 31,202 slashing 102.05 points from the previous day’s closing.

As per weekly option data, handful of call writing on higher strikes ranging from 12,100 to 12,300 is seen which shows Nifty is witnessing stiff resistance in sub-12,150 zones. But traders should try to buy at any dip as the market has maximum put Open Interest (OI) at 12,000, which will act as major support level for the weekly expiry. And 12,200 will act as resistance as maximum OI for the calls stands here. However, if Nifty is able to breach 12,180, it can lead to short covering move up to 12.270. Therefore, traders should try to buy at any dip keeping close eye on 12,000.

Buy: ACC Limited (Above Rs 1,515)

Target: Rs 1,563
