Manish Hathiramani, technical analyst with Deen Dayal Investments: “The Nifty has opened smartly and is trading above the 16,300 level. We need to keep above this level for the markets to scale up higher to 16,500-16,600 which is the next target for the index.”
“The support for the week has been updated to 16,050-16,100 and as long as this does not break on a closing basis, the trend is positive and intra-day dips can be utilized to accumulate long positions.”
