On Tuesday, when the whole market was reeling under pressure, two stocks reacted to their numbers in a positive direction. Both of them were large caps from one sector which is pharma. This becomes significant from three perspectives. First, that positive reaction was there on the day when there was a bloodbath on the street. Second, these stocks were already sitting on gains, so there is little probability of short covering leading to this sort of gains. Last but not the least it has come from sectors like pharma which have seen a very long phase of business remodelling and valuation readjustment, which makes it worth noticing. It might be too early to call, but if a re-rating gets momentum then they might be candidates for volatile markets.
Mileen Vasudeo says: “Nifty is likely to head towards 22,300 to 22,500 levels. But yes, at lower levels like say 21,900, there is good support. Overall, the breadth of the market remains positive throughout the trading session. On the sector front, IT has really lifted the sentiments and the pharma pack is also looking good on the charts.”
Short-term traders can look to buy the stock on decline up to Rs 4,000 levels, a crucial support and also closer to the neckline area of the inverse Head and shoulder pattern. An Inverse Head and shoulder pattern is the mirror image of the Head and Shoulder pattern and is a bullish signal.
