Nifty Outlook
Nifty continued its up move for the 13th consecutive session as it closed above 8,400. Though on the daily scale there are no signs of weakness but on the intraday 30 min scale the developing negative divergence on the RSI warrants caution. The index could witness termination near the likely resistance zone of 8,400-8,450 & witness a corrective wave. Hence we recommend to reduce leveraged longs & deploy adequate hedge for a while.

Reco: SELL
Last Close: 339
Occurrence of ‘Bearish Engulfing’ pattern followed by the ’Spinning’ formation indicates exhaustion of the ongoing up move. A breach below 335 would amplify the momentum & push the stock lower towards 320. Trading shorts could be deployed with a stop above 345.30.
ONGC
Reco: BUY
Last Close: 199
Target: 222
ONGC witnessed a strong rebound post the ‘Doji’ formation reconfirming the strength in the weekly support. The recent pullback provides a good opportunity to add longs. We expect the stock to outperform in the current market scenario. The recent declines provide a decent reward to risk opportunity for longs with a stop below 191.
