The market climbed another milestone of 12,800 on the Nifty and ended the one-hour Muhurat trading session for Samvat 2077 at a record closing high on November 14, backed by buying across sectors. The sectoral indices gained in the range of 0.4-0.8 percent.
The BSE Sensex rose 194.98 points to 43,637.98, while the Nifty50 was up 60.30 points at 12,780.30, but formed a small-bodied bearish candle on the daily charts as closing was lower than opening levels. During the week, both indices gained 4.2 percent.
The broader markets also participated in the runup as the Nifty Midcap index gained half a percent and the Smallcap index was up 0.75 percent amid strong breadth. About four shares advanced for every share declining on the NSE.
"The market is consolidating and slowly inching higher towards 12,900/13,000 levels. The breadth of the broader market is quite satisfactory, which is indicating a firm grip of bulls and would not allow the Nifty to fall below 12600 levels in the normal circumstances," Shrikant Chouhan, Executive Vice President, Equity Technical Research at Kotak Securities, told Moneycontrol.
The market was shut on Monday for Diwali Balipratipada.
