Further uptrend possible from current levels

Mumbai: On Monday, the benchmark indices continued their positive momentum. The Sensex was up by 583 points. Among sectors, the IT index gained the most, rallying over 2 per cent, whereas profit booking was seen in the Metal index, which shed nearly 1 per cent.

Technically, after a muted open, the market held the positive momentum throughout the day. A bullish candle on daily charts and an uptrend continuation formation on intraday charts indicate a further uptrend from the current levels.

Shrikant Chouhan, Head - Equity Research, Kotak Securities, said: “We believe that the current market texture is bullish, but buying on intraday dips and selling on rallies would be the ideal strategy for day traders. “On the downside, 81,500-81,300 would act as crucial support zones, while 82,000 and 82,200 could be immediate resistance levels for the bulls. However, below 81,300, the uptrend would become vulnerable.”
