BSE midcap and smallcap indices up 0.4 percent each.

Despite muted global cues, the Indian indices started the session gap up and extended the gains as the day progressed hitting a fresh all-time high led by buying across the sectors barring auto and pharma names.

Outlook for January 15

Kunal Shah, Senior Technical & Derivative Analyst, LKP Securities:

The Nifty index exhibited significant strength, securing a notable breakout on the daily chart as it surpassed the key resistance level of 21,800. This bullish move positions the index for potential short-term targets of 22,000 and 22,200. Traders are advised to consider buying opportunities on any dips toward the support level. The momentum indicator RSI has also provided a buy crossover, further confirming the bullish sentiment in the market.

Jatin Gedia – Technical Research Analyst at Sharekhan by BNP Paribas:

The Nifty opened gap up and traded with a positive bias throughout the day to close with gains of ~260 points. On the Daily charts, we can observe that the Nifty has decisively broken out of the 21500 – 21850 range on the upside. The breakout suggests a resumption of trending moves on the upside. We expect the Nifty to target levels of 22000 immediately and above that 22300. On the downside, the zone of 21750 – 21700 shall act as an immediate support as per the role reversal principle.

Bank Nifty started to form higher tops and higher bottoms on the daily charts indicating trend reversal from down to up. We expect the positive momentum to continue till 48000 on an immediate basis and above that it can extend till 48500
