Nifty erased a large portion of previous session losses on November 05 and ended on strong note. A sharp recovery post noon saw the markets bouncing up led by Metal, Oil & Gas and Bank stocks. Nifty formed a long bull candle that seems like a bullish piercing line pattern.
The underlying short-term down trend of Nifty is on the verge of reversal. A decisive move above 24,498 levels could open up a fresh upmove in the market. Any weakness from here is expected to drag Nifty down to 23,800 levels again.
