The Nifty kept up its bullish momentum, edging up 0.14 percent to close at 22,368 on April 23. After a decent correction last week, the benchmark index has formed a double bottom pattern on the weekly chart and has shown a decent surge this week, supported by most sectors, including midcap and smallcap stocks.
The India VIX, the domestic gauge for volatility, has dipped nearly 20 percent and slipped below 10, which provided comfort to bulls. However, an excessive drop in volatility hints that the market could react promptly to any leads from the global market or ongoing Q4 results.
Bank Nifty was higher by 0.10 percent to close at 47,970.45, as the primary trend remains strong. The index is holding above all the short-term moving averages. Unless it closes below 47,400, it is likely to rise steadily.
The Nifty PSU Bank Index has regained its rally and seems on course to retest its previous high of 7,419. Most private banking stocks remain strong, forming higher highs and higher lows, which could lead Bank Nifty to make new all-time highs in the coming weeks.
