Outlook for May 24

Aditya Gaggar Director of Progressive Shares

Bulls dominated today's trade and the Index kept on compounding its gains to end the weekly expiry trade at a record level of 22,967.65 with gains of 369.85 points. Barring Pharma, all sectors ended the session in green with Auto and BankNifty being the performers. Major buying was witnessed in the Index-based stocks, resulting in an underperformance by the Broader markets.

On the daily chart, Nifty50 has given a breakout from an Ascending Triangle Formation, indicating a continuation of an uptrend with an approximate target of 23,850. Considering today's sharp uptick, we expect a pullback in the Index where a level of 22,780 will be considered as immediate support.

The session turned out to be highly favorable for participants as the Nifty reclaimed its record high, gaining over one and a half percent. After a flat start, the Nifty steadily climbed throughout the day, inching closer to the significant 23,000 mark, primarily driven by substantial buying in select heavyweight stocks.

Sector-wise, the auto, banking, and IT sectors were the top performers, while defensive sectors like pharma and FMCG lagged slightly. Amidst this, the broader indices underperformed the benchmark, closing flat to marginally in the green.

We anticipate the prevailing positive trend to continue, with the alignment of the banking index potentially adding further momentum. We are now targeting the 23,100-23,400 zone for the Nifty, with the 22,600-22,800 zone expected to provide support in case of any pullback. Investors should focus more on heavyweight stocks and remain selective in the midcap and smallcap segments.
