Utilize dips to go long
 

Nifty has formed bearish “Harami” candle-stick pattern on the daily charts dated 4th June 2019. This pattern could lead to some profit booking from the current levels. On the downside, however, 11,800 is a strong support and can be kept as a stop-loss in Nifty longs. A level of around 11,900 or level above 12,105, which ever reaches first should be utilized to initiate longs. Positional Resistance for Nifty is seen at 12,430.
