The Nifty took support at 20-day moving average on April 12 and formed a bullish hammer candlestick on the daily chart that may lead to a bullish reversal move followed by a pullback.
The Put-Call ratio of below 0.8 is in oversold territory, while FIIs' long exposure in the index future has dipped to 61 percent, which may also cause a short-covering rally.
Most of the heavyweight stocks, including HDFC twins, are trading at important support levels that give confidence to the bulls to buy this pullback.
On the upside, 17,800 is an immediate hurdle, while 18,000-18,100 is a critical resistance zone that bulls need to take out for any meaningful rally.
On the downside, 17,500-17,400 is an immediate critical demand zone and 17,200 the next important support.
If we look at the charts of global indices, especially Nasdaq, then they are also sitting at important support levels where we can expect a pullback rally.
The Bank Nifty is outperformed the benchmarks and took support at the gap created last Monday where 38,000 is an immediate resistance level, above this, we can expect a rally towards the 38,800-39,000 zone. On the downside, 37,200-36,700 is a critical demand zone.
