NIFTY       
CLOSE-10066.40 (04.08.17)

Market achieved most awaited 10,000-mark on Nifty. It has achieved my first short-term target near recent high. It made a high of 10,137.90 levels on Nifty and 32,686.48 levels on Sensex so far in this rally. It closed 5th consecutive week in a positive territory. It also managed to close above 10,000 levels on Nifty at the end of weekly trading session. It still looks like possibility of extension case further based on overall wave counts in short term. 9900-9800 levels on nifty is strong support for short term from trading perspectives. We may see some kind of profit booking or consolidation around these levels in the short-term, but any kind of decline is still buying opportunity for short to medium-term. One should  still expect higher levels targets till short term reverses before any kind of major price-wise correction.

Short-term outlook for the market remains positive till Nifty trades above 9,709 levels and is expecting target of 10,400 levels in the short-term. Medium term outlook for the market remains positive till Nifty trades above 8,968 levels and is expecting targets in the range of 12,000-12,200 levels in medium term.

Bank Nifty has also achieved my short-term target of around 25,100 levels near recent high as expected earlier. It also closed 5th consecutive week in a positive territory. It made a high of 25,260 levels so far in this rally. It still looks like possibility of extension case based on wave counts in the short-term. 23,900-24,200 levels is strong support zone in the short term. One can expect higher targets till 27,000 levels in the short to medium term. We may see some kind of profit-booking or consolidation around these levels in the short term but any kind of decline is still buying opportunity for short to medium term till it reverses. 20,934 is strong support and reversal levels on Bank Nifty from medium to long term perspectives.

Broader markets, particularly midcap & small cap Indices are still under-performing after surpassing last months’ high. It has to catch up in this rally on upside. One should watch out for its behavior in the short-term as additional confirmation for short term trend.

10,000- 10,400 levels are strong support and resistance levels respectively so far on Nifty based on derivative option open interest data for current month series. I am revising medium term reversal levels today. Risk Reward is favorable to BUY from medium to long term perspectives. Any kind of decline or short term consolidation is buying opportunity for medium to long term perspectives till medium term reverses.

Momentum indicators Daily KST & daily MACD both went in to SELL showing weakness may create volatility in short term. one should be stock specific & follow the trend with trail stop loss levels till it reverses from trading perspectives. Close below short term reversal levels will lead to possible sharp price wise correction till 9480 levels on nifty & 30680 levels on Sensex in the short-term.
