Technical calls from HDFC Securities: Buy SBI, Ultratech Cement

Nifty outlook and top trading ideas by Vinay Rajani - Technical Analyst, HDFC Securities.

Pullback may extend towards 11,400

Nifty formed a bottom at 11,108 and reversed northward during Tuesday's (May 14) session. Nifty has witnessed a total fall of 748 points from the all-time high of 11,856. Many stocks from the largecap space seem oversold and there are good chances they might pull back from the current levels. Nifty could extend the pullback toward 11,390-11,400 levels. However, overall trend would remain bearish unless Nifty closes above 11,550.
