Uptrend wave is likely to continue

Mumbai, Dec 15

Today, the benchmark indices witnessed a recovery from lower levels. The Sensex was down by 54 points. Among sectors, the Media index outperformed today, rallying 1.80 per cent, whereas the Capital Market index lost the most, shedding 1.35 percent. Technically, after a gap-down open, the market took support near 84850 and reversed, which is largely positive. Additionally, on the daily charts, it is holding an uptrend continuation formation, indicating that the uptrend wave is likely to continue in the near future.

"For traders, 84850 and 84600 would act as key support zones. As long as the market is trading above these levels, the positive sentiment is likely to continue", says Shrikant Chauhan of Kotak Securities.

On the higher side, 85500 would be the immediate resistance zone for day traders. A breach of 26,100/85500 could push the market up to 85800. However, below 86000, the uptrend would become vulnerable.
