How will the market move next week
Ajit Mishra of Religare Broking It says that mixed global cues and volatility in crude oil prices is causing trouble for the market and this problem may continue in the coming week as well. If we look at the index, Nifty is circling between 17,000-17,350. A break coming on either side towards either end will clear the direction of the market. In such a situation, market participants would be advised to focus on select stocks and sectors and also do adequate risk management.

Amol Athawale of Kotak Securities Says Nifty is facing continuous selling pressure around 50-day SMA or 17400. Nifty has formed a small bearish candle on the weekly frame. Which is showing signs of further weakness in it. We believe that as long as Nifty is trading below 17325, there will be a possibility of weakness in the near future and Nifty may touch the level of 17000. If weakness further increases, Nifty can also go to the level of 16900-16870. On the other hand, if Nifty shows strength by crossing the level of 17000, then a pullback rally of 17400-17500 cannot be ruled out.
