Day trading guide: 2 stock recommendations for Friday

By Aditya Agarwala

Nifty50 reversed in trade in the weekly expiry session to shut shop in the green led by buying seen in financial stocks. The index took support at the key short-term moving average placed at 15,630, and formed a small bullish candlestick. However, it is approaching the intermediate hurdle of 15,780, being the 127 per cent Fibonacci extension level that has been acting as stiff resistance for the past few trading sessions. A failure to break out of this hurdle could resume profit booking, dragging the index to levels of 15,570-15,470. On the flipside, sustained trade beyond 15,780 will extend the uptrend, taking Nifty50 higher to levels of 15,860-15,950.
