Day trading guide for today: After consolidated trade within a narrow range, Indian stocks finally witnessed selling pressure on Friday session. However, 50-stock index Nifty has given positive return in year-to-date (YTD) time. If Nifty doesn’t give up those gains in upcoming December sessions, the index may end up delivering positive return to its investors on 7th successive year in a row — longest ever streak since Nifty’s inception on 22 April 1996.
According to market experts, Nifty IT index has breached its crucial support while the Banking and the FMCG index is still showing strength and indicating a continuation of the uptrend. They said that selling on weekend session should be seen as profit-booking only.

“In last one week, Nifty has seen some correction from the highs posted on 1st December. If we look at the data, this correction mainly seems because of profit booking where we have seen unwinding of long positions by the FII’s in the index futures segment. Their Long Short Ratio has reduced from about 76 percent to 60 percent in this period. However, we have not seen any short formation and the Nifty index too has not closed below its crucial 20-day EMA support. The RSI oscillator on the Nifty charts has given a negative crossover indicating a corrective phase but the readings on the Bank Nifty index still remains positive although in an overbought zone,” said Ruchit Jain, Lead Research at 5paisa.com.
“Immediate support for Nifty for this week is placed in the range of 18550-18380 and if this support range is breached, then we could see a price wise corrective phase in the short term towards 18100. On the flipside, if the Nifty manages to hold this support then a pullback move towards 18650 and 18730 could be seen,” said Ruchit Jain of 5paisa.com.
