Market status: Confirmed Uptrend
Distribution days: Five
Global stock markets: Dow30, +0.1%; S&P 500, +0.1%; Nasdaq, -0.5%; Kospi, +0.7%; Hang Seng, -0.9%; Nikkei, -0.7%
After closing in the red for five straight sessions, Nifty opened over 100 points higher yesterday. The session was volatile as Nifty traded in a 200-point range. It crossed its 21-DMA intraday but failed to close above it. Volume was higher than the previous session. Mixed reaction was observed on the sectoral front. Nifty Metal (+3.9%) was the top gainer followed by Realty (+2.7%). All the financial related sectoral indices closed lower. Yesterday, FIIs were net sellers at Rs 1,569 crore, while DIIs were net buyers at Rs 216 crore.
Looking ahead, we may downgrade the status to an Uptrend Under Pressure if distribution day increases or Nifty fails to reclaim its 21-DMA and falls more on higher volume. Without trying to predict and decode stories, we will take what the market gives and continue to monitor unfolding conditions.
