Day trading guide for stock market today

Speaking on intraday trading strategy for Nifty today; Ruchit Jain, Lead Research at 5paisa.com said, "If we look at Nifty, the index has formed an ‘Inside Bar’ today at the support zone. Such a pattern signals some consolidation, but many times they set up indications for trend reversals in technical analysis. Since this pattern is formed at the support, the follow up move will be very important now and a move above Tuesday’s high of 17275 will lead to a confirmation of the resumption of the uptrend in Nifty. On the flipside, this support of 16800-16850 will be crucial as if this is breached, then the index will continue the correction towards the next support of 16600."

On his suggestion to intraday traders, Ruchit Jain of 5paisa.com said, "At this juncture, we advice traders to look for follow up move and trade aggressively only on a breakout beyond 16800-17275 range. Till then, focusing on stock specific approach could be a better strategy for trading."

Sharing important levels in regard to Nifty today; Nagaraj Shetti, Technical Research Analyst at HDFC Securities said, "The relief rally of Wednesday post sharp weakness of previous session could be a cheering factor for the bulls to make a comeback. A decisive move above 17,300 levels is likely to confirm a reversal pattern post higher bottom at 16,825 levels and that could possibly pull Nifty towards further upside. Immediate support for NSE Nifty is placed at 17,000 levels."
