After many attempts, the Nifty50 finally succeeded in surpassing its previous all-time high and hit a new high of 19,011.25 on June 28, the monthly expiry day for June futures & options contracts, backed by buying across sectors. Metal and pharma were the leading stars, rising over 1 percent each.
The BSE Sensex intraday new high was 64,050.44 and rose 499.39 points to a record close of 63,915.42.
The Nifty50 cleared the critical resistance 18,900 level at the opening itself and remained positive throughout the session, though there was volatility in the latter half. It ended at a record of 18,972.10, up 154.7 points, extending the uptrend for the third straight trading day.
The Nifty50 has formed a bullish candlestick pattern on the daily charts, making higher highs and higher lows for yet another session, indicating a positive sentiment, going ahead.
Experts expect the rally to continue in the coming sessions, with the Nifty50 moving towards 19,100-19,200 levels. However, minor profit booking can't be ruled out after crossing those levels, while the crucial support would be in the 18,800-18,700 area.
On the weekly scale, the index has so far formed a long bullish candlestick pattern and continued with higher tops and bottoms formation for the 14th consecutive week.
“The positive chart pattern like higher tops and bottoms is intact and the present up-move is in line with the new higher top formation of the sequence. But the higher top reversal has not been confirmed yet," said Nagaraj Shetti, technical research analyst at HDFC Securities.
He said the short-term trend of the Nifty continues to be positive. Having surpassed the crucial overhead resistance of 18,900 levels on June 28, there is a possibility of more upside towards 19,100-19,200 levels in the next few sessions before shifting into a consolidation/minor weakness, whereas immediate support is at 18,830 levels, he said.
The future open interest (OI) indicated a build-up of fresh long positions in Nifty futures for the third consecutive day. Ashwin Ramani, derivatives & technical analyst at SAMCO Securities, also said the mood is upbeat in the market after a strong closing.
"The support for Nifty now shifts to 18,900 levels. On the upside, 19,100 will now act as an immediate hurdle for the index. The options activity at 19,000 strike will set the tone for future cues as we step into the July series expiry on Friday," he said.

Sun Pharmaceutical Industries: Buy | LTP: Rs 1,021.8 | Stop-Loss: Rs 985 | Target: Rs 1,070 | Return: 5 percent
The counter is currently exhibiting a classical Cup and Handle formation, which is a bullish technical pattern. This formation is occurring around the clusters of the 50-day, 100-day, and 200-day moving averages (DMA), further reinforcing its significance.
In terms of potential price targets, there is an immediate resistance level of Rs 1,020. If the counter manages to surpass this hurdle, it suggests a strong possibility of a swift upward move towards Rs 1,070.
The momentum indicator, RSI, is showing positive positioning above the 50 mark. This indicates a favourable momentum for the counter, suggesting a potential continuation of the upward trend.

The counter recently emerged from a two-year consolidation phase, accompanied by notable trading volumes. It has been undergoing another period of consolidation over the past few days, making a Bullish Flag formation within a shorter time frame.
To provide immediate support, the rising 20-day moving average (DMA) and the previous breakout zone in the Rs 1,090-1,070 range are expected to play a significant role. These levels have the potential to act as strong support areas for the counter in case of any pullbacks.
In terms of momentum indicators within the shorter time frame, it is worth noting that they are currently indicating a slightly overbought condition.
However, it is important to consider that overbought conditions can persist for an extended period, suggesting that the counter may continue to exhibit strength despite these readings.
