Buy these two stocks for near term gains as Nifty closing in on fresh all-time highs

By Nagaraj Shetti

The upside momentum continued in the market with range bound action on Wednesday and Nifty closed the day higher by 93 points. A reasonable positive candle was formed with a minor lower shadow, which indicates a comeback of bulls after a higher levels weakness of Tuesday. 

Wednesday’s new swing high at 15319 could open chances for a new higher top formation (as per the bullish sequence of higher tops and bottoms on the daily chart). But, we need confirmation by weakness from the highs to call this as a negative reversal pattern.

The short term trend of Nifty continues to be positive amidst rangebound movement. Now the market is placed at the crucial juncture of overhead resistance around 15350-15450 levels. If Nifty sustains around thee highs for the next couple of sessions, then that could open doors for an upper target of 15800 levels. Any profit booking from the hurdles could be a buy on dips opportunity for short term. Immediate support is placed at 15200-15150 levels.
