Commenting on the technical outlook of Nifty 50, Rupak De, Senior Technical Analyst at LKP Securities, said, “the market started to gap up following strong global sentiment and has so far remained in strength. The short-term trend remains strong as the index sustains above critical moving averages on the daily timeframe. A ‘buy on dips’ strategy is favored as long as it remains above 19,550. On the higher end, it might move towards 20,000-20,200.”

On Tuesday, the Bank Nifty index added 183.60 points or 0.42% to settle at 44,409.50. “Bank Nifty opened gap up however was unable to capitalize on the gains and it corrected intraday. However, the dip is likely to witness buying interest in the zone of 44,350 – 44,300 where support in the form of the key hourly moving averages are placed. we expect the pullback in bank nifty towards 45,000 from short-term perspective. On the downside 44,100 – 44,000 shall act as a crucial support.

Technical Observation: NIFTY
After showing a sharp downside breakout on Tuesday, Nifty shifted into a consolidation movement amidst volatility on Wednesday and closed the day higher by 21 points. A small body candle was formed on the daily chart with upper and lower shadow. Technically, this pattern indicates the formation of doji type candle pattern. Normally, a doji after a reasonable upmove or down moves calls for impending trend reversals. Having formed a doji after a minor downtrend, the chance of a minor pullback rally is likely. Minor degree positive chart patterns like higher tops and bottoms have been negated recently as per the daily chart. Hence, any upside bounce from here is expected to be a lower top formation in the short term.
