TRADE SETUP FOR FEB 6
Nifty Short-Term Outlook:
Index on Wednesday's session traded in a range and closed marginally lower. In the daily chart it has formed a small bear candle signalling consolidation after the previous session's strong up move.
Nifty earlier during the week has generated a breakout above the key hurdle area of 23,600-23,650 being the confluence of last week's high, key moving averages (200- & 50-days EMA) and the previous breakout area signalling strength.
We expect the index to extend the up move and head towards 24,000-24,200 levels in the coming sessions, while Tuesday's gap-up area (23,380-23,425) will act as immediate support.
Volatility is expected to stay high on account of volatile global cues, RBI monetary policy outcome and Delhi Election outcome in the coming week.
