Nifty futures were trading 22 points or 0.14 per cent up at 16,282.50 on Singaporean Exchange, suggesting a gap-up start for BSE Sensex and Nifty 50 on Thursday. Markets may remain volatile today due to weekly F&O expiry. In the previous session, benchmarks indices clinched fresh record high levels. Technical analysts say that Nifty, as per long term charts, is strongly up and a sharp upside breakout as per weekly timeframe chart is visible. Hence, any profit booking from the highs could be a buy on dips opportunity. “Having moved up sharply in last two sessions and a weak market breadth is likely to pull the market into profit booking from the highs in the next 1-2 sessions. Any dips down to 16K mark is going to be a buy on dips opportunity. Our initial upside target of 16300 has almost been reached (made a high of 16290 on Wednesday). The next upside levels to be watched around 16500 in next one week,” Nagaraj Shetti, Technical Research Analyst, HDFC Securities, said.
