According to market experts, the Nifty moved up significantly after a flat closing in the previous trading session. Going forward, the market remains a buy on dips as long as 23,000 is not broken. “On the higher end, the index might move towards 23500-23600. On the lower end, profit booking might occur only below 23000,” said Rupak De, senior technical analyst, LKP Securities.
Bank Nifty has also shown bullish momentum, taking support near its 10-day moving average and forming a bullish engulfing candle on the daily chart. It closed near its resistance level, indicating strong buying interest. The key resistance level for Bank Nifty is 50,500, while 49,200 will act as crucial support, said experts. The rupee also traded strong, appreciating by Rs 0.11 to close at 83.40 against the dollar.
This strength is attributed to ongoing capital market gains and a continued buying spree following the general election, with the market showing confidence in the NDA 3.0 government maintaining economic stability, the experts noted.
