Comment :: 'Maintain stock-specific approach and wait for clarity'

Mixed global cues combined with a lack of decisiveness in the banking pack are causing uncertainty. However, rotational buying in other sectors and outperformance of the broader indices are helping the traders to put on a brave face. Amid all, we recommend maintaining a stock-specific approach and waiting for clarity.

Comment :: Markets' weekly wrap

This week, the Indian market was volatile; however, it was able to regain the momentum led by positive domestic outlook accompanied by global cues. Auto stocks garnered attention as sales numbers for May came in strong, with a sequential recovery boosting sentiment across the sector. The hope that the Fed will refrain from a rate hike has provided comfort to the global equity market.

Tech View :: 'Nifty likely to witness resumption of uptrend next week'

On the hourly charts, we can observe that the Nifty is trading around the lower end of the reverse channel (18,500 – 18,450) and the key hourly moving averages and the hourly momentum indicator has triggered a fresh positive crossover which is a buy signal.

After a gap up opening on Monday this week, Nifty has spent most of the time digesting those gains. It has filled the gap (18,500 – 18,580) area created on the 29th May and in the process retested the range breakout of 18,000 – 18,400.

We believe that the Nifty this week has witnessed consolidation and next week onwards we are likely to witness resumption of uptrend. Overall, we continue to maintain our positive outlook on the index for a target of 18,800 from short term perspective. In terms of levels, 18,460 – 18,420 shall act as the crucial support zone while the hurdle zone is placed at 18,600 – 18,660.
