The market extended previous day's gains to jump a percent higher on April 27, driven by banking & financials, metals, select auto, FMCG and IT stocks.
The BSE Sensex rallied 557.63 points or 1.15 percent to close at 48,944.14, while the Nifty50 climbed 168 points or 1.16 percent to 14,653 and formed bullish candle on the daily charts.
"A long bull candle was formed, which signal an emergence of strong buying in the market. After showing higher levels weakness at the immediate hurdles for few occasions, Nifty finally showed initial sign of strength today by closing above the hurdle of previous opening downside gap around 14,600 levels (April 19). This is positive indication and signal more upside in the near term," Nagaraj Shetti, Technical Research Analyst at HDFC Securities told Moneycontrol.
He feels the bearish pattern of sell on rise has been negated and a sustainable upside bounce was seen from the lower range of 14,200. This is positive indication and one may expect Nifty to test the upper range of 14,900-15,000 levels in the next one week, he said.
Any intra-week dips down to the support of 14,500-14,400 levels could be a buying opportunity, he advised.
The Nifty Midcap 100 index gained 1.57 per cent and Smallcap 100 index rose 1.74 per cent, outshining the frontliners.
