Market Performance Key Takeaways For The Week
🌟 This past week was action-packed for
NIFTY, starting strong with a gap-up opening on Monday after a solid rebound the previous Friday. The momentum built through the week, peaking on Thursday, the Monthly F&O expiry day, as the index surged past the 22,600 mark. Despite these gains, Friday ended on a slightly sour note due to profit-booking, which saw the week close just above 22,400, up 1.23% from the previous week.
🌟 Market sentiment remained largely
bullish, with the Small-Cap and Mid-Cap indices reaching new highs, though profit-booking near all-time highs created a '
Dark Cloud Cover' pattern on Friday, indicating potential resistance ahead. The market strategy was predominantly 'buy on dips,' with crucial support levels identified at 22,300 and 22,200. Traders were advised to maintain a stock-centric approach, especially given the ongoing earnings season and forthcoming Lok Sabha elections, keeping an eye on global cues.
🌟
Bank Nifty also started the week with optimism, maintaining a range of 48,200-48,300 for the first three days. Thursday saw a burst of buying, pushing the index past 48,300 and reaching up to 48,600. The week concluded with a modest gain of 1.32%, marking consecutive weeks of gains, although the overall momentum remained somewhat restrained.
🌟 Looking ahead, the
banking index filled a notable gap and is now focusing on breaching the 49,000 mark. With the PSU banking index setting a new record, continued buying in the banking sector could signal strength. Key support lies between 47,800 and 47,700, providing a buffer, but a dip below these levels could undermine the bullish outlook. Conversely, sustained interest near the 48,700-48?800 zone could boost market momentum.
