The overall sentiment in the market remains strong despite mixed global cues. Experts advise investors to remain stock-specific. The recent government push to kickstart the investment cycle will also aid sentiment. 
 
During this week, the government announced PLI schemes for some sectors, and guarantee to back security receipts issued by the National Asset Reconstruction Company Limited for acquiring stressed loans will also support the sentiment.   
 
“The PLI schemes announced by the government shows their strong intent to address the sectors’ challenges and pave way for the development of local capabilities and capacities, thus enabling companies to rightly capture the opportunity thrown open by China+1 strategy,” Siddhartha Khemka, Head - Retail Research, Motilal Oswal Financial Services Ltd, said. 
 
“The constitution of a ‘Bad Bank’ in our view is a positive development as the focus remains on faster resolution of stressed assets, which will improve the balance sheet of banks. The upfront cash payment would also aid in providing incremental cash flows and will enable banks to focus more on their core operations,” he said. 
 
Technically, the index is trading strong, and any dips should be used as a buying opportunity. Although, some consolidation at a higher level cannot be ruled out after a strong price action seen in September, but there still are no signs which suggest that traders should go short. 
 
“Technically, benchmark Nifty maintained uptrend continuation formation which is broadly positive but due to temporary overbought situation, bulls may prefer to take a cautious stance near the 17800 resistance levels,” Shrikant Chouhan, Head of Equity Research (Retail), Kotak Securities Ltd, said. 
 
“For Nifty, 17700 would be the immediate resistance level, which traders will have to look at, and below the same, the correction wave is likely to continue up to 17450-17350 levels. If the index trades above 17700, the uptrend texture will continue up to 17800-17950 levels,” he said. 
 
Chouhan further added that contra traders can take a long bet near 17350 with a strict 17300 support stop loss. Meanwhile, the Bank Nifty has formed a strong bullish formation and the structure suggests further upside if it succeeds to trade above 37000.
