17/06/26, PostMarket REPORT


The benchmark equity indices Sensex and Nifty extended their winning streak to the fourth consecutive session on Wednesday, supported by favourable global cues and sustained buying across sectors.

After a positive start, the Nifty traded in a narrow range for most of the session, although the overall bias remained positive. The index crossed the 24,000 mark and settled at 24,085.70, up 96.55 points or 0.4 percent. During the day, it advanced 119.05 points or 0.49 percent to 24,108.20.

The Sensex climbed 347.14 points or 0.45 percent to settle at 77,155.62. In intra-day trade, it jumped 410.51 points or 0.53 percent to 77,218.99.

The investors are now tracking whether the benchmarks can sustain the recovery after the four-day rally.

Ajit Mishra, SVP-Research at Religare Broking, said the Nifty has reclaimed the psychological 24,000 mark and is now approaching the 100-day exponential moving average near the 24,150 level.

A sustained move above this zone could pave the way for an extension towards the 24,500 mark in the near term," he said.

On the downside, the 23,800-23,900 region is expected to provide immediate support in the event of profit booking, followed by the 23,650 level as the next key support, he added.

According to market analysts, the immediate resistance for the Nifty is placed in the 24,230-24,250 zone. A sustained move above this range could result in the index extending its pullback towards 24,400, followed by 24,550 in the short term. Immediate support is placed in the 23,950-23,920 zone.

Analysts at Bajaj Broking Research said a follow-through move and a close above the 24,100 level would infuse further momentum and open the upside towards the 24,600 mark in the coming weeks.

Vatsal Bhuva, Technical Analyst at LKP Securities, said Bank Nifty ended the session with a small candlestick formation on the daily chart, indicating a phase of consolidation after the strong rally witnessed in recent sessions.

Despite the short-term pause in momentum, the broader technical structure remains positive as the index continues to sustain above its 200-day moving average, reflecting underlying strength, he said.

"Momentum indicators also support the bullish outlook, with RSI holding above the 60 mark. Positional support is placed at 57,000 and 56,500 levels, while resistance is seen near 57,800. Overall, the prevailing trend remains constructive, and a buy-on-dips approach can be considered," Bhuva added.

Meanwhile, sectoral participation remained broadly positive, with metal, energy and IT stocks leading the gains, while auto and realty shares witnessed some profit booking following their recent outperformance.

The broader market also participated in the upmove, with midcap and smallcap indices advancing between 0.52 percent and 0.8 percent, indicating improving market breadth and sustained participation beyond frontline stocks.
