The market ended the week on a strong note after three straight day of losses as the benchmark indices rose 1.3 percent each on November 12, driven by buying across sectors. IT, FMCG, and financial services were the top gainers among sectors, rising 1-2 percent.
The Sensex gained 767 points to close at 60,686.69, while the Nifty jumped 229.20 points to 18,102.80 and formed a bullish candle on the daily chart. The index gained a percent for the week as well, forming a small bullish candle on the weekly scale.
"A long bull candle was formed on the daily chart with minor lower shadow. Technically, this pattern signals chances of upside breakout of the overhead resistance at 18,115 levels. A sustainable move above this area could open a sharp upmove towards the next hurdle of 18,350 levels," said Nagaraj Shetti, Technical Research Analyst, HDFC Securities.
He said the sharp upmove on November 12 seemed to have nullified the short-term negative pattern on the daily chart. "Further upmove from here could be considered as an upside breakout of important resistance and that could pull the Nifty towards 18,350 levels in the short term. Immediate support is placed at 18,000 levels," Shetti said.
The broader markets also closed in the green but underperformed the benchmarks. The Nifty midcap 100 index was up 0.45 percent and the smallcap index gained 0.29 percent.
