The market had a wonderful day on February 14 as equity benchmarks snapped a two-day downtrend and closed at a three-week high, tracking positive global cues. The northward journey in FMCG, technology, banking and financial services, metal and oil and gas stocks aided the rally.

The falling volatility also made bulls comfortable on Dalal Street. India VIX, the fear index declined by 1.66 percent from 13.68 level to 13.45 level.
But the broader markets remained under pressure for yet another session with negative breadth. The Nifty Midcap 100 index fell third of a percent and Smallcap 100 index was down fourth of a percent.
Stocks that performed better than broader markets included Rashtriya Chemicals and Fertilisers which rallied nearly 5 percent to Rs 112.4 and formed bullish candle which to some extent resembles bullish engulfing kind of pattern on the daily charts after taking support at around Rs 105 or 200-day EMA (exponential moving average).
Poonawalla Fincorp has decisively broken consolidation range of last one-and-half-month on the higher side with long bullish candle on the daily charts with healthy volumes on Tuesday. The stock closed 3.5 percent higher at Rs 313, the highest closing level since November 29, 2022. Also there was a breakout of long downward sloping resistance trendline adjoining highs of October 19, 2022 and January 24, 2023.

It has been making higher high higher low for third consecutive session, with trading well above all short term and long term moving averages.
