A day before the Diwali break, market snaps its 4-day gaining streak – the Nifty closes just above 10,200 as bank stocks led by Axis Bank drag. For Samvat 2073, Nifty gains 18 percent and Sensex gains 17 percent.
The 30-share BSE Sensex was down 24.81 points at 32,584.35 and the 50-share NSE Nifty fell 23.60 points to 10,210.90.
Charting the outlook for the market post Diwali, Ashwani Gujral of ashwanigujral.com says as long of levels of 10175-10185 on Nifty holds, there could be more upside. For the moment the range seems to be 10175 to 10250. The fact that banks have been correcting makes it difficult for Nifty to surge higher, if that correction stops in banks then Nifty could regain its ground when the market opens on Monday, feels Gujral.
