The market climbed to a seven-month high on October 6, with the BSE Sensex rising 600 points and the Nifty closing above 11,600 mark amid expectations of better September quarter earnings season.
The buying in banking and financials, auto and select IT stocks led the market higher, while the broader markets gained around half a percent.
The benchmark indices gained for fourth consecutive session. The BSE Sensex jumped 600.87 points, or 1.54 percent, to close at 39,574.57, while the Nifty50 rose 159 points or, 1.38 percent, to 11,662.40, the highest closing level since February 26 this year, and formed bullish candle on the daily charts.
"The initial overhead resistance of downtrend line and also a previous swing high of September 16 has been surpassed on the upside around 11,550-11,620 levels and Nifty closed above it. We now observe three back to back unfilled opening upside gaps in the last three sessions," Nagaraj Shetti, technical research analyst at HDFC Securities, told Moneycontrol.
"The present upside breakout could be a positive indication and this market action seems to have negated the negative sequential movement of lower highs and lower lows. Hence, this could be positive indication and could open more upside for the short term," he said.
