Traders can lighten long positions in 15,000-15,100 zone: Vinay Rajani

The Nifty50 index has breached the crucial support of 14,753, which happened to be the previous top on the daily Chart. It has also violated the supports derived from 5, 10 and 20 days SMA. RSI oscillator has also exited overbought zone with negative divergence on the daily chart. However, we can not rule out the stock specific bullish moves. Current market setup is offering trading opportunities in both directions.  As far as Nifty is concerned 15,000-15,100 is a zone, which should be utilized to lighten the trading long commitments. Support for the Nifty is seen at 14,336 odd levels, where 50 days EMA is placed.
