Nifty and Sensex on Friday Morning Show Mixed Results
The Indian stock market, after exhibiting a sustainable upward trend in recent sessions, transitioned into a consolidation phase and ended Thursday with mixed results. The Nifty 50 index retreated by 17 points to close at 19,794 levels, while the BSE Sensex lost 64 points, ending the day at 66,408. On the brighter side, the Nifty Bank index saw a gain of 82 points, closing at 44,599 levels. In the broader market, the small-cap index rose by 0.60%, and the mid-cap index showed an increase of 0.30%.
Nifty’s Short-term Outlook
Nagaraj Shetti, HDFC Securities believes Nifty is currently at a critical point, hovering around the trendline resistance of 19,850 levels. Despite this resistance, the positive chart pattern with higher tops and bottoms remains intact in the daily timeframe chart. A potential dip from the current levels may lead to the formation of a new higher bottom around 19,650 levels. This chart pattern suggests a “buy on dips” opportunity for the short term. A decisive break above the 19,850 hurdle could open the door for a new phase of robust upward momentum in the market.
Bank Nifty’s Prospects
Ashwin Ramani, SAMCO Securities, notes that Bank Nifty faced challenges surpassing the 44,700 level for the second consecutive day, closing at 44,599 with an 82-point gain. A breakout above 44,700 has the potential to propel the index to 45,000 levels, while 44,500 is likely to serve as a formidable support. However, a breakdown below 44,500 could invite bearish sentiment back into Bank Nifty.
