After a couple of weeks ended in flat trading, the domestic market rebounded last week. The Nifty50 went closer to its all-time high of 18,887 and ended the week with a considerable gain of around 1.5 percent. On the other hand, the broader markets outperformed the benchmarks as the Nifty Midcap 100 and Smallcap 100 indices gained around 3 percent during the week.
The trendline breakdown which occurred during the previous week in the Nifty spot has been negated since the index has managed to surpass the initial hurdle of 18,777. Also, the ‘shooting star’ candlestick pattern on the weekly scale has been negated. Now the index seems to be heading towards 18,900 – 19,000 which can be the best-case scenario.
We again expect some softness from the zone of 18,900 – 19,000 since there is a strong hurdle of a trendline and the upside is not supported by Nifty Bank index. Markets seem to have over stretched themselves and it would be better to remain vigilant going ahead. On the downside, immediate support is at 18,660 and only a breach of the same might halt this trend.
The Nifty Bank index once again failed to clear the top of 44,500 last week and closed lower making a ‘double top’ kind of formation. The index underperformed the benchmark indices during the week and underwent a trend line breakout.
Going ahead, we expect fresh downside in the index till the time 44,500 is not taken out. The immediate support for the index is at 43,400. On the upside, 44,500 seems to be an initial resistance and only a move above the same might extend the rally above 45,000 milestone.
