The Nifty IT index appears strong as it has managed to hold 200-day moving average (DMA) on the daily chart. The said moving average is rising continuously taking the prices higher with every new trading session. Every dip below 200-DMA has witnessed buying for short-term trading, the chart suggests.

Currently, the 100-DMA is witnessing resistance as the price could not procure follow-up buying. On October 30, 2018, the index climbed above 14,821 after breaking 13,870, its 200-DMA; however, it failed to move higher as the immediate session closed in the negative zone. Thereon, the stock has recovered, hitting 15,062 - above its 100-DMA of 14,940. The index, however, has failed again as follow-up buying has not emerged, the chart suggests.

TCS: The stock has been continuously trading above 200-DMA on the daily chart, even when benchmark indices witnessed correction recently. The negative crossover of 100-DMA over 50-DMA has impacted the trend as per chart. The current level of 100-DMA is Rs 1,953 and 50-DMA is Rs 1,926 - its immediate resistance range. The level of Rs 1,872 stays as the support of 200-DMA as per chart. A strong decisive breakout above Rs 1,953 will lead to Rs 2,030 and further to Rs 2,070, chart suggests.

The weekly chart shows strong support in the range between Rs 1,750 - Rs 1,800 for the medium term, the level witnessed buying during October and November last year.

Infosys: The overall trend for Infosys indicates a bullish view as per the daily chart.
