Sensex Support And Resistance Levels
SEBI-registered analyst Vipin Dixena said that Sensex is holding above the 50-period EMA, indicating that the broader short-term trend remains upward. The momentum indicators show a cooling phase, with RSI easing from overbought territory and moving toward neutral levels. He said that this reflects a healthy pause rather than a deterioration in trend.
As long as Sensex holds above 85,500, buyers are likely to defend declines, the market expert said.
Sensex Prediction: Breakout Level
On the upside, 86,045 remains the immediate resistance for Sensex. "A breakout above 86,045 will open the door for a fresh rally. If Sensex falls below 85,500, then the index could slip further in the short-term."
Hitesh Tailor, Research Analyst, Choice Equity Broking, said that Sensex could consolidate next week after hitting all-time high levels. On the technical front, Sensex has immediate resistance at 86,000. A decisive close above 86,000 will trigger fresh buying. On the downside, 85,200 to 85,300 zone is expected to act as near-term support, the market expert said.
Stock Market Prediction Next Week: Key Things To Watch
Ajit Mishra of Religare Broking said that broader market sentiment has improved, but participation remains selective next week. He said that markets will be influenced next week by monthly auto sales data, manufacturing data, services and composite PMI readings. The most crucial event will be the RBI's monetary policy meeting on December 5, where commentary on inflation, growth and the rate-cut outlook will be closely watched.
"Globally, US macro data will remain the dominant driver for risk sentiment as markets refine expectations for the Federal Reserve's December policy decision and its implications for foreign flows," he said.
