Bulls may stage a comeback on Dalal Street on the week’s last trading day as benchmark indices BSE Sensex and NSE Nifty are expected to open in the green, hinted SGX Nifty. Ahead of the session, Nifty futures traded 78 pts or 0.4% higher at 18514 level on the Singapore Exchange. “The recent market structure is pointing towards the possibility of some profit-taking or consolidation ahead. However, we expect Nifty to hold the 17800-18100 zone. The prevailing underperformance on the broader front is already hurting sentiment and it might deteriorate further during the corrective phase. We thus reiterate our view to remain selective and focus on position sizing,” said Ajit Mishra, VP – Technical Research, Religare Broking.
