Market Preview

At 8:00am IST, the SGX Nifty Futures was trading at 11,092, compared with Nifty’s yesterday close of 11.095.

Market status: Confirmed Uptrend

Global stock markets: Dow 30, +0.6%; S&P 500, +0.4%; Nasdaq, +0.4%; KOSPI, +0.5%; Nikkei, -0.8%; Hang Seng, -0.1%

Yesterday, Nifty had a gap-up start but found resistance near its 21-DMA and gave up the opening gains. After a volatile action in the opening hour, Nifty rebounded sharply and gained more than 200 points from its intraday low. Volume was lower compared with the last few sessions when selling pressure was high. RIL (+7%) and HDFC Bank (+4%) were the major contributors to benchmark indices.

The rally was broad based where Nifty Midcap and Smallcap indices closed with notable gains. Market breadth was skewed toward advancers. Of 2,170 stocks traded, 1,200 advanced, 626 declined, and the remaining traded flat.

Nifty closed more than 1% above its 21-DMA (10,965). We would like to see Nifty hold its 21-DMA. In case the distribution day count increases and Nifty breaches its 21- and 200-DMA, we may downgrade the market to an Uptrend Under Pressure.
