Today’s Action

Nifty, 0.8%; Sensex, 0.8%; Nifty Midcap, 1.8%; Nifty Smallcap, 2.6%; Model Portfolio, 3.1%.

Market Pulse: Confirmed Uptrend

Distribution Day Count: Three

Nifty continued its momentum in today’s session after it staged a brief recovery yesterday. The index made a high of 18,265 and continued to trade near its highs for most of the day. After a dismal performance by the broader market in the last few trading sessions, Nifty Midcap and Smallcap ascended 1.8% and 2.6%, respectively.

Of 2,042 stocks traded, 1,526 stocks advanced, 453 declined, and the remaining closed flat. On the sectoral front, it was a one-way journey for almost all sectoral indices. Nifty Realty and Metal remained the top performers for the day, gaining 3.6% and 2.7%, respectively.

Distribution day count currently stands at three. The market remains in an Uptrend, but if the index adds a couple of distribution days, stages a reversal, or breaches its key moving averages, we may change the market status to an Uptrend Under Pressure. Reducing exposure to stocks breaking below their 21- or 50-DMA on higher volume is important.
