At 8:15 am IST, SGX Nifty Futures was trading at 16,259, compared with Nifty’s close of 16,258 yesterday.

Market Pulse: Confirmed Uptrend

Distribution Day Count: Three

Global stock markets: Dow 30, -0.3%; Nasdaq, +0.2%; S&P 500, -0.1%; Nikkei, +0.2%, Kospi, -0.6%; Shanghai Composite, +0.04%

Yesterday, Nifty started the session on a positive note and moved above 16,300 in the opening hour. However, it quickly lost over 140 points to make an intraday low of 16,180. However, Nifty recovered around 100 points in the second half and closed almost flat. The broader market continued to underperform the index. On the sectoral front, there was mixed action. Nifty Bank, Financial Service, and IT closed 0.3–0.7% higher. On the flip side, Nifty Metal (-1.8%) and Realty (-0.7%) closed lower.

Currently, the distribution day count stands at three, and Nifty is trading at an all-time high. We will continue to follow the action of leaders and look for constructive behavior and potential entry points to develop. If the index adds a couple of distribution days, stages a reversal, or breaches key moving averages, we may change the market status to an Uptrend Under Pressure. We continue to recommend a selective approach to increase risk. Focus on quality ideas emerging from proper bases with the RS line trending higher. Reducing exposure to stocks breaking below their 21- or 50-DMA is important.
