Outlook for November 25

Ajit Mishra – SVP, Research, Religare Broking

Markets rebounded strongly this week, gaining over 2% after a recent decline. While Nifty saw early volatility, strength in banking and IT stocks propelled the index higher, later supported by other sectors. IT and realty outperformed, rising over 3% each, while broader indices participated but lagged the benchmark.

State election results, on Monday could influence the market’s direction, especially in the early hours. Nifty is nearing its immediate resistance at the 20 DEMA around 24,050. A decisive breakout could push it toward 24,350, but failure may trigger profit booking. Traders should maintain a stock-specific approach, focusing on IT and banking, which exhibit stronger momentum, while being selective in other sectors.

Nifty opened on a bullish tone, experienced strong buying interest throughout the day, and closed on a positive note near 23,907 levels. The volatility index India Vix rose by 0.67% to 16.10, indicating an increase in market volatility.

Technically, index on a daily scale has formed a large green candle, indicating strength. Furthermore, the index crossed the 23,800 barrier and closed above it, confirming strength. However, the index is still placed below 21-Days exponential moving average (DEMA), which is placed near 24,040. Thus, 24,040-24,050 will act as immediate resistance for the index, while 23,800 will act as immediate support for the index. If index manages to sustain above 24,050 then rally could extend towards 24,200-24,300 levels. Thus, in the short-term, buy on dips approach should be adopted.

Bank Nifty opened on a positive note, witnessed strong buying interest, and settled the day on a positive note at 51,135 levels. Technically, the index on a daily scale sustained above hammer candle high of 50,652, and formed a big green candle. Moreover, the index has broken the resistance of 50,984 and sustained above it. If index managed to hold 50,980, then rally could extend towards 51,500-52,000 levels. Thus, in the short-term, buy on dips approach should be utilized.
