The Nifty had started a bounce from the junction of the 40-DEMA and the daily lower Bollinger Band. The recovery continued on March 02. As a result, the index has reached the hourly upper Bollinger Band and is marginally away from the 20 DMA, which is near 15000. So 15000 is a key hurdle to watch out for. If the bulls manage to surpass this level, the index can move up to test the swing high of 15176. On the other hand, 14800-14760 will act as an immediate support zone for the index.
