The market was rangebound from the opening tick and late strength helped the benchmark indices gain half a percent on November 19 driven by telecom and banks stocks. However, the weakness in auto, FMCG and metals stocks capped gains.
The BSE Sensex rose 185.51 points to 40,469.70 while the Nifty50 climbed 55.60 points to 11,940.10, forming bullish candle on daily charts, but the market breadth was negative.
The broader markets also gained momentum, with Nifty Midcap and Smallcap indices rising 0.2-0.3 percent but underperformed frontliners.
According to the pivot charts, key support level for Nifty is placed at 11,895, followed by 11,849.9. If the index continues moving up, key resistance levels to watch out for are 11,972 and 12,003.9.
Nifty Bank gained 0.79 percent to close at 31,236.25. The important pivot level, which will act as crucial support for the index, is placed at 31,040.96, followed by 30,845.73. On the upside, key resistance levels are placed at 31,364.76 and 31,493.33.
