Sameet Chavan, Head of Research, Technical, and Derivative at Angel One, remarked that the trading week has kicked off on a positive note for the bulls, with the benchmark index opening higher. He noted that from a technical perspective, the recent robust performance, which has surpassed the March swing high, has fulfilled a bullish ‘Saucer’ continuation pattern.
Chavan pointed out a ‘Saucer’ continuation pattern and a ‘Rising Channel’ pattern indicating a potential resistance zone between 22,750 – 22,800. He has advised caution on aggressive long positions and suggested looking at profit-taking strategies, with immediate support levels at 22,500 – 22,450.
