Nifty close to short term support zone. Pidilite overbought PGHH Buy -17th July 2011

After a negative last week for the bourses, the benchmark indices are likely to show some support in the current range. Quarterly results so far have shown consistent growth coming in the top line, though the bottom line seems hit by rising Interest and Employment costs.

Technically, Nifty is trading close to the support zone of 5530-5560, where it is likely to show some strength. Front line real estate stocks like DLF, Unitech, Sobha Developers, Parsavnath are showing strength and are likely to boost the index up. FMCG stocks too are showing strength which are good indications for the market.

The short-term traders may go long on Nifty in 5530-5540 range. Nifty is likely to move up to 5610-5630 range where it is likely to face some resistance. One may close the position, if Nifty goes below 5510-5515.

Among the stocks, Pidilite Industries is showing resistance for last few weeks at around the current levels, primarily due to technical reasons. RSI is currently close to over-bought zone for this stock. Also the gap between the short-term support and long-term support is quite wide which indicates that the current run up in short-term is difficult to sustain and hence, it might correct a bit. Traders can open their short positions in this scrip at around 170-172 Rs with Stop-loss of 176 and target price of 166.

Another stock that is currently looking good at the moment is Proctor and Gamble (PGHH). It has broken down its current resistance levels of 2000 and hence, is likely to create a short-term rally in the near future. FMCG sector overall is doing well which provides further fillip to this stock. One may enter into this stock at 2010 with stop-loss at 1980 and target price of 2045.
