The market on November 29 ended at a record closing high for yet another session, continuing its northward journey for the sixth straight trading day, tracking positive global cues.
The BSE Sensex rose 177 points to 62,682, while the Nifty50 closed above the 18,600 mark for the first time, climbing 55 points to 18,618 and forming a bullish candlestick pattern which resembles the Bullish Marubozu Opening kind of pattern on the daily charts, making higher high for fifth consecutive session.
"On the daily charts, the Nifty formed a Bullish Opening Marubozu candle at Life Time High levels. The Bullish Opening Marubozu candle means Open and Low of the candle are same, indicating bullish sentiments," Vidnyan Sawant, AVP - Technical Research at GEPL Capital said.
The momentum indicator RSI (relative strength index) is showing a bullish reversal, reflecting a strong momentum build-up for the shorter term.
As per the overall price structure and evidence provided by indicators, the market expert feels that the Nifty is in strong upward momentum and can go higher to the level of 18,700.
However, the broader markets underperformed frontline indices as the Nifty Midcap 50, Midcap 100 and Smallcap 100 indices fell half a percent each.
