Stocks in focus: GIFT Nifty traded flat at 19,678, up by merely 16 points or 0.08% during Friday’s early trading session, indicating a flat opening for domestic indices NSE Nifty 50 and BSE Sensex. On Thursday, the NSE Nifty 50 closed below the 20,000 mark at 19,679, down almost a per cent. The Sensex too closed well below 67,000 at 66,230.24, down a whopping 500 plus points.
“Technically, the Nifty has completed one leg of correction, and for the bulls now, 19,700 would be the key level to watch out for. If the index succeeds to trade above the same, then we could expect one relief rally, and above 19,700 the market could rally till 19,825 – 19,875. On the flip side, fresh selling is possible only after the dismissal of 19,700 and below the same, the index could slip till 19,650 – 19,600,” said Shrikant Chouhan, Head of Research (Retail), Kotak Securities.
