Analyst flags short-term trend reversal; Top stocks that standout on charts

Stocks to buy: Vinay Rajani, senior technical and derivative Analyst at HDFC Securities, recommends 'Buy' on M&M Finance and Federal Bank

Nifty View

Nifty broke the 6-session winning streak by falling 103 points to close at 25910. On a weekly expiry session, Nifty remained highly volatile with bears having an upper hand towards the end. 

 

Nifty ended up forming a bearish “Engulfing” candlestick pattern on the daily chart, which indicates a probable short-term trend reversal sign. Break below the candle’s low could extend the fall towards the next support band of 25700-25750. On the upside, unless Nifty surpasses today’s high of 26030, short-term view should remain cautious.  ALSO READ | Nifty consolidation to continue? Top stocks now flashing 'Buy' calls
