The index formed a bullish candle with a higher high and higher low price structure on the daily chart, confirming the continuation of its uptrend. The Nifty is trading comfortably above all its major moving averages and reflects a well-established bullish setup, supported by robust market breadth and sustained buying interest in large-cap sectors such as banking, autos and infrastructure. Overall sentiment remains upbeat, indicating further upside potential as investors continue to favor quality stocks amid improving economic indicators. The index is showing notable strength, with the RSI improving to 60, reflecting growing bullish momentum. In addition, the MACD has formed a positive crossover and continues to trend well above its central line, indicating continued buying interest and strong upward momentum. These technical signals suggest that market sentiment remains constructive, with potential for further upside as bulls maintain control of price action in the near term. According to O’Neil’s methodology of market direction, the market status has been downgraded to an “Uptrend Under Pressure” as Nifty has breached its “50-DMA” and the “spread day count” is at four. The index closed on a positive note as investor sentiment improved, driven by renewed expectations of a potential US Federal Reserve rate cut, which typically favors emerging markets such as India. The prevailing optimism and sustained buying interest may support the index’s upward movement towards 25,350-25,500 in the near term. However, any decisive close below 25,050 could trigger renewed selling pressure, potentially pushing the index lower to 24,900-24,800. Overall, market sentiment remains cautiously optimistic, with momentum likely dependent on global cues and domestic earnings performance. How did the Nifty Bank perform yesterday? The Nifty Bank opened on a solid note and extended its upward momentum through the session, supported by strong buying in leading private and PSU banks. The index formed a bullish candle on the daily chart, with a higher high and higher low price structure, indicating the continuation of the positive trend. During the day, it opened at 56,528.95, touched an intraday high of 56,922.70 and a low of 56,491.85, before closing at 56,799.90, up 303 points or 0.54%. The index’s continued position above all its major moving averages reaffirms a bullish structure, with buyers maintaining firm control despite intermittent profit-taking. The technical indicators reflect strengthening momentum. The RSI stands near 67, indicating healthy strength without entering overbought territory, while the MACD remains above its signal line, confirming a positive crossover and reinforcing bullish sentiment. The short- and medium-term moving averages (21-, 50- and 100-day SMAs) are favorably aligned, indicating well-defined trend support. However, given the recent rally, traders should remain vigilant for near-term consolidation ahead of a possible breakout above 57,000. The Nifty Bank remains on a strong footing, trading comfortably above its 200-day SMA, with immediate support seen near 55,400-55,000. As long as the index holds above these support points, the broader outlook remains positive, with potential upside targets around the previous swing high of 57,600-57,800. Any drop to support zones could provide buying opportunities for positional traders. However, a sharp move beyond 57,800 will be needed to confirm a new leg of the rally, while profit-taking at higher levels cannot be ruled out in the short term.
