Nagaraj Shetti, Technical Research Analyst, HDFC Securities said, "Nifty as per weekly chart formed a long bull candle, which was after the formation of bullish hammer type candle pattern of last week. This could be an indication of near term bottom reversal at the swing low of 8,806. The short term trend of Nifty continues to be positive. The next upside levels to be watched around 9,750 to 9,800 in coming sessions. Any downward correction towards 9400 could be a buy on dips opportunity for the next week."
