Maruti is facing a strong resistance at current level. It failed to breach the 200 DMA twice earlier. This time too it has not succeeded in moving above 200 DMA so far.

Nifty @ 200 DMA

Nifty may take a breather

At daily level also Nifty failed to breach the crucial 5900 mark today and closed at 5842 points. Breaching 5900 is crucial to come out of the downward trend line. But, Nifty has closed today under that and now stands at a crucial support and if it falls below 5800 it may slide further.

Long or Short ?

BPCL has moved out of a downward channel and successfully moved above its 50 DMA. The stock is making higher-highs and higher-lows after touching bottom in Feb. But, the stock is facing resistance at current level. Perhaps, crude price will determine future direction.

BHEL has broken the down trend line with some good volumes but faces immediate resistance at Rs 2300. Failure to breach that level may pull it down.
