Outlook for November 16
Aditya Gaggar Director of Progressive Shares:
Following strong domestic as well as global cues, Nifty50 commenced the day on a firm note and gradually compounded its gains to settle at 19,675.45, advanced by 231.90 points. All the sectors ended the day in green with Realty, IT, and Auto being the outperformers.
On a daily chart, the Index has made a long-legged DOJI candlestick pattern and not only breached its falling trendline but also gave a convincing close above its 50DMA (19,580) which shows bullishness in the markets. Now the next critical hurdle for the Index stands at 19,840 while the downside is protected at a strong support zone of 19,550-19,580.
Ajit Mishra, SVP - Technical Research, Religare Broking:
Markets made a firm start and gained over a percent, tracking upbeat global cues. After the gap-up start, Nifty remained in a narrow range in the first half. However, buying in select heavyweights pushed the index higher as the session progressed. Consequently, it settled around the day’s high at 19675.45 levels. All sectors participated in the move wherein realty, IT and auto were among the top performers. The broader indices also traded in sync and gained nearly a percent each.
Nifty has decisively crossed the trend line hurdle and looks set to test 19,850 now. Interestingly, noticeable contributions from heavyweights like Reliance, Infosys and TCS, which were on the sidelines, largely fuelled the up move. And, we expect their participation to continue thus reiterating our view to maintain a “buy on dips” approach and focus on stock selection.
