TRADE SETUP FOR MAY 13
Nifty Short-Term Outlook:
The index formed a robust bullish candlestick pattern with a higher high and higher low, coupled with a bullish gap (24,008–24,378) beneath its base, signaling strong upward momentum.
Nifty has decisively broken out of a 12-session consolidation range (24,589–23,848), indicating the resumption of its bullish trajectory.
We expect the index to target the 25,200–25,300 zone in the near term, being the previous major highs and 78.6% retracement of the entire decline (26,277-21,744).
Notably, the index has fully reversed its 12-session corrective decline in a single session, reinforcing the strength of the rebound and suggesting further upside potential. The breakout zone from Monday (24,500–24,600) is expected to act as a key support level moving forward.
