Nifty Overview & Outlook

Following a gap-down opening, the benchmark Nifty index rebounded from the price and gap support of 24000 spot levels to settle on a flat to positive note.

The broader markets performed inline with the benchmark as Mid and Small cap indices too ended on a flat to positive note.

Performance on the sectoral front was mix. Among them, Nifty IT was at the top of the tally, gained over 3.5% followed by Media and Consumer Durables index that rose 2.09 & 1.15% respectively. On the other hand, FMCG and Cement pack were at the bottom of the tally, down around 1% each.

Technically, Nifty index is consolidating in a ‘Broadening’ formation having immediate supports around 23800 spot levels and resistances around 24600 spot levels. A break on either side of 23800-24600 spot zone is essential for a sustainable move in that direction. Within this range, a move and sustenance above 24300 could lead it towards 24600 spot levels, conversely, a fall below 23960 spot could drag it back to 23800 spot levels. Hence, we suggest traders to maintain a stocks-specific trading approach as long as the index is trading in an indecisive consolidation range.
