Despite Friday’s decline, the Nifty 50 and BSE Sensex managed to end with weekly gains of 1% each.
The eight-day record run for benchmark Indian stock indices came to an end on Friday. Despite Friday’s decline, Sensex and the Nifty 50 index ended the week with gains of 1% each.
It was the week for the broader markets, with the Midcap index ending up 3%. Other outperformers included metals, with the index ending up 4% for the week, and tech stocks which continue to rebound from their 52-week low. The computer index ended with gains of 2.4% over the past week.
What do the graphs suggest for Dalal Street?
According to Nagaraj Shetti, Technical Research Analyst at HDFC Securities, the Nifty 50 has formed a small negative candle on its daily chart for two consecutive trading sessions. “This pattern indicates a resumption of minor profit bookings in the market from all-time highs,” he said.
Here are the key things to know about the market ahead of the December 5 session:
Global Markets
U.S. Wall Street markets rallied from Friday’s session low, looking past the hotter-than-expected jobs data until the next U.S. Federal Reserve meeting.
The Dow Jones ended up 0.1% after losing as much as 350 points during the session. Even the Nasdaq composite recovered from its 1.6% drop to end almost flat and close the week with gains of over 2%.
What to expect in Dalal Street
HDFC Securities’ Shetti says the Nifty 50’s all-time high of 18,887, which the index scaled on Thursday, can be seen as a new higher high from the current higher, lower pattern. “The current weakness should find a higher floor in the near term,” he said.
The smaller and larger time chart of the index indicates that there is a possibility of a rebound higher from the lows over the next 1-2 trading sessions. Shetti sees immediate support for the Nifty 50 between the 18,550 and 18,450 levels.
