“Large-cap stocks are witnessing a catch-up now and we have seen this shift towards large cap stocks for the past two weeks,” said Rohit Srivastava, founder Indiacharts.com. “In August, Nifty was down for five consecutive weeks, which led to a diversion in mid-cap and large-cap stocks.”
He expects the Nifty to do better than small-cap and mid-caps from here on.

Both the indices have gained in the past two trading sessions and recovered part of the 3-5% fall on Tuesday.”Mid-caps and Small-caps saw a fall only one day after a rally of almost 15-16 weeks. It was only a correction but there has been no liquidation situation yet,” said Rajesh Palviya, head-technicals and derivatives, Axis Securities.Srivastava said Nifty will see strong support at 20,040 and the resistance would be 20,350 in the next one week.
