The bulls were back in action. The market snapped a two-day losing streak, with the benchmark indices rising 1.56 percent on the back of support from all sectors on December 7, ahead of RBI monetary policy and after easing of Omicron concerns.
The BSE Sensex surged 886.51 points to 57,633.65, while the Nifty50 jumped 264.40 points to 17,176.70 and formed a bullish candle on the daily charts.
"The daily price action has formed a sizable bullish candle forming higher high-low compared to the previous session indicating positive bias. This buying was observed from the past 3-4 sessions with multiple support zones of 16,800-16,900 levels, which remains a crucial support zone in the near term," says Rajesh Palviya, VP - Technical and Derivative Research at Axis Securities.
He further says any sustainable move above 17,250 levels may cause upside momentum towards 17,400-17,500 levels. On the flip side, "any violation of 17,100 may cause further weakness towards 17,000-16,800 levels. Nifty is trading below 20,50 and 100-day SMA representing near-term bearish bias."
Rajesh Palviya expects the index to consolidate within a broad range from 17,600 to 16,800 levels in the coming sessions with mixed bias, along with high volatility.
The broader markets also joined the bulls' party as the Nifty Midcap 100 and Smallcap 100 indices climbed over 1 percent each.
