Chart Busters: Top trading set-ups to watch out for Friday

NIFTY halts at 20-DMA; price action against this level is important.

Extending its gains for the third day in a row, the NIFTY had a trending session on the expected lines. It opened higher and maintained its gains through the day as it gained 142.05 points over its previous close. The index has halted its increase just near the 20-DMA level which stands at 17610. In the process, the NIFTY has formed a higher top and higher bottom on the charts. The RSI has remained neutral and MACD too remains bearish but is seen moving towards a positive crossover. The price action of NIFTY against the levels of 17600 will be crucial; any move higher will see an extension of the current up move. Any move below this point will again push the markets into some consolidation.
