Nifty outlook and stock recommendations by CapitalVia: Buy RBL Bank, ONGC

Nifty continue to mount on strong global sentiments; Nifty witnessed highest weekly closing in 15 weeks 

Market traded with positive sentiments on Friday, advancing on firm global cues and short covering move. Nifty closed above 10,000 on weekly basis, which shows confidence in bulls for the next week due to monthly expiry for June series. Nifty managed to close at 10,244.40 adding 152.70 points. Reality, PSU banks and Media stocks closed with positive note, but technology and metal stocks closed in red mark. Nifty bank closed at 21,338.10 adding 381.80 points from the previous day’s closing.
 

As per monthly option data, a handful of put writing on higher strikes ranging from 9,900 to 10,200 is seen which shows Nifty might witness support in subzone of 10,000, also might act as support as maximum put OI is placed here after 9,500. But Nifty likely to face stiff resistance at 10,500 as maximum call OI is placed here. We might witness weakness only if Nifty breaks level of 10,000. Therefore, traders should try to create long position keeping close eye on 10,000, as it might act as a support for this monthly expiry.
