While the market remained volatile through the past week, benchmark indices managed to close the week in the green, and above crucial psychological levels, driven by positive global cues, strong results from India Inc., and measures announced by the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) to support the economy.
For the week ended May 7, S&P BSE Sensex rose 0.87 percent reclaiming 49,000, while Nifty50 climbed 1.31 percent closing above the 50-Days Simple Moving Average, and above 14,800.
Meanwhile, the S&P BSE Midcap index rose 1.4 percent and the S&P BSE Smallcap index was up 2.5 percent rally.
The index is now approaching the crucial resistance zone of 14,900-15,000, and a close above this level could lead to a sustained breakout, suggest experts.
“We’re in the third month of consolidation and there’s still no clarity over the next directional move in the index. A decisive breakout in Nifty above the 15,000-mark is critical for the resumption of the uptrend,” Ajit Mishra, VP Research, Religare Broking told Moneycontrol.
Mishra further added that there are stock-specific trading opportunities across the board which are keeping the traders busy and that may continue this week as well.
Traders should align their positions accordingly and prefer sectors/themes like pharma, metal and agri-related for long positions.
