The market extended gains for the third consecutive session with the Nifty50 hitting the 18,000 mark for the first time on October 11, driven by banking & financials, auto, FMCG, and select pharma stocks. The broader markets also continued to run along with frontliners, as the Nifty Midcap 100 index was up 0.61 percent and Smallcap 100 index gained 1.16 percent.
The BSE Sensex climbed 76.72 points to 60,135.78, while the Nifty50 rose 50.80 points to 17,946 and formed a bullish candle on the daily charts as the closing was higher than opening levels.
"The daily price action has formed a small bullish candlestick pattern, registering a new high at 18,041, indicating positive bias. The subsequent higher levels to watch are around 18,050 levels. Any sustainable move above 18,050 levels may cause momentum towards 18,100-18,200 levels," said Rajesh Palviya, VP - Technical and Derivative Research at Axis Securities.
He further said that on the downside, any violation of an intraday support zone of 17,850 levels may cause profit booking towards 17,700-17,600 levels.
