"This week, we expect the market to remain rangebound between 10,925 on the upside and 10,720 on the downside," Dinesh Rohira of 5nance.com said

In the week gone by, the Indian equity market sustained its performance on a weekly basis, despite taking a breather after the Federal Open Market Committee's rate hike on Thursday.

The Nifty traded in a positive trajectory in four out of the last five sessions. It came under selling pressure during early trade on Friday to hit a low of 10,755 but managed to recoup its losses towards the end of the session to close above 10,800 levels.

The index touched an intraday high of 10,834 and closed on a flat note at 10,817 levels, a gain of about 0.46 percent on a weekly basis.

After taking a short breather on Thursday to form a Hammer like candlestick pattern, the index didn’t see a significant pattern formation on a weekly basis, apart from the inverted pattern.

The weekly relative strength index (RSI) stood at 61, indicating a positive breakout from the pattern formation, while the weekly moving average convergence divergence continues to indicate a bullish trend as price trades above the signal line.

This week, lack of major domestic triggers and fears of an escalation in the trade war between US and China is likely to weigh on sentiment. This tension will certainly keep the index volatile despite positive biases on the domestic front.

We advise investors to remain cautious with a sector or stock specific approach and maintain a strict stop-loss. This week, we expect the market to remain rangebound between 10,925 on the upside and 10,720 on the downside.
