Indian benchmark index Nifty50 ended yet another session of trade in the green with gains of 50 points despite rising volatility. Further, the benchmark indices continued to outperform the broader markets as largecap stocks played catchup trade.
A sustained trade beyond 16,600 will extend the uptrend, taking the index higher to levels of 16,700-16,750 in the near term. However, failure to sustain above 16,600 and a move below 16,550 could trigger profit booking, dragging the index lower to levels of 16,400-16,350. Moreover, the technical indicator RSI has started forming a negative divergence on a shorter time frame chart, i.e., price making higher high and indicator making lower high, which indicates that the uptrend is losing steam and can witness minor profit booking before resuming the upward journey.
