Weekly Sector Outlook
Nifty Infra is building a strong setup for fresh highs
We have seen a sharp one-sided rally in the past couple of weeks. Now we will expect a multiple resistance breakout on the weekly chart. Heavyweight stocks look strong in this sector.
Nifty Infra has near resistance around 5250, break and sustain above 5250 will see sharp upside move till next hurdle to 5350. If it is able to cross 5350 then we will expect a huge breakout on the charts in the next trading sessions. Close above 5350 will see a non-stop rally till 5500+ levels in days to come.
Now major support around 5000, break below 5000 will negate our bullish view in this sector.
Keep an eye on Shree Cement, Siemens, and Grasim.
