The market extended gains for third consecutive session with the Nifty50 closing above 14,800 mark amid March quarter earnings season and ahead of expiry of April futures & options contracts, driven by banking & financials and auto stocks on April 28.
The BSE Sensex surged 789.70 points or 1.61 percent to close at 49,733.84, while the Nifty50 climbed 211.50 points or 1.44 percent to 14,864.50 and formed bullish candle on the daily charts.
"The Nifty50 is approaching the 'multiple resistance' zone of 14,900 which remains a crucial hurdle to watch for. On the hourly chart, the index continues to trend higher forming a higher Top and higher Bottom formation, indicating short term up trend," Rajesh Palviya, Head - Technical and Derivative Research at Axis Securities told Moneycontrol.
"The next higher levels to be watched are around 14,900 levels. Any sustainable move above 14,900 may cause momentum towards 15,000-15,100 levels," he said.
"On the downside, any violation of an intraday support zone of 14,800 levels may cause profit booking towards 14,700-14,650 levels. The daily strength indicator RSI and the momentum indicator Stochastic both have turned bullish which supports bullish sentiments ahead," he added.
The broader markets also joined the bulls' party, but underperformed frontliners. The Nifty Midcap 100 index rose 1.11 percent and Smallcap 100 index gained 0.64 percent.
