Nifty continued its northward journey for the fourth consecutive day on July 20. The index conquered 11,000 level to close at a four-month high at 11,022, the highest since March 5.
Last Friday, Nifty managed to close above its last 10-day trading range, confirming the breakout from the narrow range. It also managed to close above its 200-day SMA, only after February 2020.
Nifty has also witnessed a bullish dominance by +DMI and ADX on the daily chart. Whenever Nifty witnesses such formation on ADX indicator, it tends to move higher.
Earlier resistance of 10,800-10,850 level would interchange its role as a support.
On the derivatives front, we have seen Put writing at 10,800-11,000 levels. The 5-day SMA is placed at 10,778 levels.
Therefore, 10,800-10,850 level would act as immediate support for Nifty. On the higher side, resistance is seen around 11,200-11,250 level.
After running corrections for few days, mid and small-cap Indices resumed their uptrend again last Friday.
The advance-decline ratio was positive for the last two days. We believe that small-caps, which outperformed the benchmark Index during this rally, will continue their outperformance for the coming weeks also.
Our advice is to remain long in Nifty with the trailing stop loss of 10,778 levels. Resistance is seen in the range of 11,200-11,250 levels.
The focus of the traders should be on mid and smallcaps that are likely to continue their outperformance for the coming weeks and months.
Here are three mid-caps buy recommendations for the next 3-4 weeks:
