OUTLOOK

Today morning, Hang Seng and Shanghai are trading with modest gains while Nikkei is down 0.7%. SGX Nifty is suggesting about 25 points higher start for our market.

For past couple of sessions, we had been mentioning that 10942, the 67% retracement level of the 11118-10585 fall, is the immediate hurdle, a crossover of which is required for a fresh upmove.

Nifty yesterday crossed this hurdle and surged all the way to 10994 before closing at 10987 and is set to open above 11000 today.

11118, the top made on 7th February, is the next upside target/resistance to eye.

Immediate support on the hourly chart is placed at 10850, with the stop-loss of which, trading longs should be held on to.
