See 10,420 as critical support for Nifty; Buy Berger Paints for the short-term

Jaydeb Dey

The Nifty on Thursday ended 0.8 percent higher at 10,513.85 levels. It rose from its support of 10,420 and ended the day above the 10,500 mark. The day-long choppy movement was followed by a swift recovery in the latter half of the session, resulting in a bullish body candle. The structure of the candle pattern suggests this pullback is likely to continue further towards 10,560 and 10,600 levels. Hence, short-selling at this juncture is certainly not advised. On the Nifty, 10,420 may continue to act as critical support.

On the Nifty hourly chart, extreme positive divergence in the relative strength index (RSI) is seen, which may intensify this counter pullback. Immediate resistance is placed around 10,560 levels. Successive closing above 10,560 may initiate a quick recovery towards its 200-day exponential moving average (EMA) placed around 10,600 levels.

Nifty patterns on multiple timeframes show that it rebounded from the support of 10,420 before ending the session with a bullish body candle. The pullback from oversold zone is likely to continue beyond 10,560 levels. Its next critical resistance is placed around 10,600 levels.
