After the solid 1.8% rally on Friday, what are the key levels to watch out for in the new week?
Nifty has finally managed to break out from the congestion zone of 18200-18300, which it was trying to break in the last few trading days. On the weekly scale, a bull candle with a long lower shadow was noticed. Nifty has finally broken and even given a weekly close above 18200, indicating that bulls are now in control, as all previous attempts to close above 18000 on a weekly basis had failed in the previous 7 months. Indicators like RSI and MACD also indicate positive direction in the market. Nifty may rise towards the 18450 to 18550 band in the near term while the 18100 to 18000 could provide support. The volatility index India VIX fell 7.46 percent to 14.40, providing more comfort to bulls. If volatility remains below the 15 level, the market may become more stable.

18,000 levels would be important support till this weekly expiry. In this market, investors must be patient and invest in stages.

Both banks and IT stocks have led from the front. How are the charts looking like for Nifty Bank in the coming week?
Nifty IT is steadily making higher highs and lows where it has managed to close above all its short-term moving averages. The next big hurdle from Nifty IT is breaking the 200-day EMA which currently stands at 29700. Bank Nifty is moving in a positive upward channel for the past one month, taking support along the way. It is forming higher highs and higher lows and managed to close at a 52-week high of 42137. RSI and MACD are indicating a positive momentum for Bank Nifty. Support for Bank Nifty has shifted to 41000 to 41500, and we would continue to stay bullish until these levels are broken.

PSU bank stocks continued to outshine this week as well. Anyone on your buying list?

PSU Bank has just begun to bulk up and has entered a rise with leading indices. As Bank Nifty made new highs, support was aided by PSU stocks as well. On a daily time frame, the momentum indicators as RSI and MACD remain on the positive side. PSU Bank would continue to outperform in the short to medium term.

Last week, PSU Bank has delivered 6.46 percent return and we expect the PSU Index might test 4000 levels in coming days. In addition to , , , and could offer respectable returns in the near future.

HDFC Bank and HDFC were in long consolidation and finally managed to give a breakout. In past months resistance was seen in HDFC Bank around Rs 1500 to Rs 1520 levels, which it was struggling to cross higher.

HDFC had resistance around Rs 2480 to Rs 2500 levels and now has given a breakout. We expect this momentum to continue and take HDFC to Rs 2750 to Rs 2800 in coming days.
