Index trend and stocks in action April 17, 2017

On Thursday, Nifty opened on a flattish note, and soon after opening it drifted lower. Selling pressure intensified in the last leg of the trading session, and Nifty ended the session near the lowest point of the day. On the daily chart, Nifty has breached its rising trend line support, and it has also closed below its crucial short term moving average i.e. 13-day EMA. Now going forward, the level of 9130-9135 is a crucial support area, and it also coincides with 21-day EMA. A breach of 9130-9135 levels may open up for correction up to levels of 9060. On the upside, the level of 9175-9180 is likely to act as an immediate resistance as it's the 13-day EMA. If Nifty holds above the level of 9175-9180, it is likely to open for upside up to levels of 9220-9240.
