Markets Ahead

The Indian stock market has broken its 3-day losing streak!

Do you remember this long-term trendline? It’s getting back into action with yesterday’s close near the line and forming a hammer candle on the daily time frame today. The 5-min intraday candles also respected that trendline today.

Keep your eyes on the 18,200-230 resistance zone in the coming days. I feel that if this is broken, Bank Nifty will reach its new all-time high (ATH) next week.

If you have watched today’s 3 PM candle, it is very evident that a huge fight is going on between sellers and buyers now.

FIIs continuing net buying is bringing good confidence, but if huge net selling happens, it will trigger a panic selling.

UK will publish their inflation data on Wednesday at 11:30 AM IST.
