Stock calls by Tradebulls Securities: Sell HUL, buy Bata India

Nifty outlook and top trading ideas from Sacchitanand Uttekar, DVP - Technical (Equity), Tradebulls Securities.

The Nifty50 index gave up most of its gains post occurrence of “Bullish Piercing” pattern in the previous trading session. With most oscillators in their respective oversold zone and subsiding incremental momentum on the downside, it appears that the ongoing bearish move could end soon. Highest call bearing at 11,300 strike price for next weekly expiry continues to act as resistance on an immediate basis and breach above the same could trigger short covering move on the upside targeting 11,420 levels.

Short-term traders should refrain from initiating fresh shorts as most short horizon oscillators are now approaching their respective oversold territory. It’s prudent to book profits for existing shorts as index tested 11,150-11,030 price confluence support zone and await for bottoming out a formation to occur around the support levels for initiating longs as a presumption of reversal for larger move on the upside remains intact.
