Canara Bk, Coal India are top buying bets by Osho Krishan of Angel One

The Bulls have maintained their winning streak for the third consecutive week, propelling the benchmark to new record highs. It has been an eventful week overall, marked by the Nifty pushing into uncharted territory and ultimately closing with weekly gains of 1.50 percent, just shy of the 26,200 zone.

In a market environment devoid of bearish activity and bolstered by positive global indicators, the benchmark continued to surge to record highs even with overstretched technical and derivative metrics. Moreover, the sectoral rotation has provided the essential impetus to drive the recent market activity. It's been nearly 10 odd months, our markets have continued their gravity defying run; but looking at the Quarterly time frame chart, we came across an interesting observation and it

would be unfair not to highlight it.

From March 2020 lows, NIFTY had formed a Bullish Flag pattern which consisted of a pole with six Quarterly candles. We have precisely reached the target (26,276) of this pattern with precisely six Quarterly candles. Although it has become difficult to predict when the market will give a much-needed healthy correction, such important development with extremely overbought conditions of all major technical indicators, staying light and avoiding aggressive positions seems to be a prudent ploy. On the levels front, the zone of 26,000 is anticipated to provide a cushion, followed by a series of support placed from 25,800-25,700 in the comparable period.

On the flip side, 26,250 - 26,300 remain to be immediate hurdles, and as we move forward, such levels can certainly be revised.
 

The broader participation from Midcap space and selective heavyweights is likely to stay in prime focus amidst the churning among sectors. Simultaneously, it is crucial to keep a close watch on the global markets, as any aberrations could potentially disrupt the ongoing momentum of our domestic markets.
