TECHNICAL VIEW: Gaurav Ratnaparkhi, Head of Technical Research, Sharekhan by BNP Paribas

The Nifty has been witnessing short term consolidation for the last few weeks. In terms of the price patterns, it has formed a triangle on the daily chart. Towards the end of the last week, the Nifty had formed a base near the lower end of the pattern. Consequently, the index took a leap on the upside & opened gap up on January 16. However, the index stumbled near the upper end of the pattern & stayed back into the pattern. Till the time the index trades above 17800 on a closing basis, the pattern is eventually expected to break out on the upside. The Nifty will be set for a larger bounce, once it crosses the near term barrier of 18050.
