Speaking on the current market trend Mehul Kothari, Senior TEchnical Equity Analyst at IndiaNivesh Securities told Zee Business online, "Due to ongoing momentum, Nifty spot has clear the mark of 11,500 on the closing basis. It addition, during the process the index has also clear the hurdle of 161.8% Fibonacci retracement level of the previous move as shown in the chart. Thus, we expect bullish momentum to continue towards new life high till the time Nifty sustains above 11,400 marks. While doing the same, 11,600 to 11,680 might act as an intermediate resistance for the bulls," adding, "We maintain our positive stance for the markets but at the same time advice traders to start booking their leveraged positions. On the downside 11400 might act as an intermediate support for the coming sessions. A move below the same might dwell the ongoing momentum for the time being."
