BankNifty
Current: 11,116 (Dec future: 11185),
Target: 10,850
The financial index is in a big correction, dropping from a high of 13,300 (Nov 5) to a low of 11,040. It's broken two Fibonnaci retractions. A third is at 10,850. That’s a likely target predicted by other methods. The upside on rebounds could be till resistance is hit at 11,650. Keep a stop at 11,250 and short. Increase the position between 10,950 and 11,050 and reset the stop to 11,100. Book profits below 11,900.

TCS
Current Price: Rs 1,079,
Target Price: Rs 1,060
The stock rose from around 1,000 to 1,100 and it’s started correcting on low volumes. The last close was a first retraction point and we could expect a fall till first Fibonacci retraction level of 1,060-1,065 where there is also chart support. Keep a stop at 1,090 and go short. Increase the position between 1,068 and 1,070 and reset the stop to 1,073. Start booking profits below 1,062.
