ANGEL BROKING: “The trend deciding level for the day is 19,772 / 5,920 levels. If Nifty trades above this level during the first half-an-hour of trade then we may witness a further rally up to 19,990 - 20,115 / 5,985 - 6,021 levels. However, if Nifty trades below 19,772 / 5,920 levels for the first half-an-hour of trade then it may correct up to 19,647 - 19,429 / 5,884 - 5,819 levels”.
ANAGRAM: “After previous week`s meltdown, last holiday shortened week came as a relief as benchmark indices gained a percent and a half, albeit after a bit of volatility. Nifty finally settled at 5,948, gaining 91 points or 1.6% week-on-week. Nifty made a bottom of 5,855 during the week, which is higher than the previous bottom of 5,721 made on December 10. Now if Nifty was to close above 5,954, the immediate previous top, that would complete the higher-top higher-bottom formation, turning the technical view bullish. The next target then would be 6,069, the high made on December 6. On the downside, 5,855, last week`s low is the support level to watch out, a fall below which can take Nifty to 5,721, the bottom made on December 10. Traders can initiate long positions once Nifty closes above 5,954 with the stop loss of 5,855.

ANAGRAM (FNO outlook): “Markets staged a mild recovery last week, much on the anticipated lines. Markets were UP on three out of four sessions last week. On weekly basis, Nifty posted gains 91 points (or 1.56% rise). This was in the back-drop of 2.26% fall in the previous week. However this `recovery` lacks volume support. Year-end Profit-taking by FIIs and dis-appointing cues from global arena could still haunt market and may arrest any big rallies that may come. Sharp jump in Nifty OI PCR to 1.26 over the week and also sharp rise in Nifty Future December `Premium` is suggestive `short-covering` on Index. Going by Option-distribution pattern, markets are likely to hold-on to strong support zone between 5,700-5,800 levels of Nifty. In the coming week, markets by and large are likely to stay ranged and volatile (due to lower volumes) between 5750~6100 levels of Nifty.”
