Markets Ahead

Yesterday FIIs ended as net sellers and US markets also closed in the red.

But looking into yesterday’s Indian market, it moved up after a huge gap-down opening and stayed well above 17,290 levels. These were the positive cues we had before today’s market opening.

But to surprise, it was a highly bullish day with marketwide buying. Did you notice those strong 5-min green candles that broke 17,500, 600, and 700? The market was super ready for a strong monthly close. Also Nifty and Bank Nifty were breaking day highs continuously. 

It looks like FIIs wanted a strong monthly candle, otherwise, it would have been a weak candle with a big upper wick. A single day changed the whole monthly candle structure, making it a green follow-up candle. 

For the first time in many months, Nifty has closed the month strongly near the downtrend line. Also after many weeks, we saw a strong buying at 3 PM.

Bank Nifty was at 39k last Friday, yesterday it fell to 38k, and today it closed above 39,500. What a bounce back!

We saw huge volumes in heavyweights after 3 PM today. Interestingly, Reliance had very low selling volumes compared to others. 

I think AGM has triggered bullishness in Reliance and should be watched in the coming weeks. 

Tomorrow will be a holiday for the Indian market on account of Ganesh Chaturthi. India’s Q1 GDP data will be published tomorrow and this has high relevance since global markets are facing recession fear.

The festive season is coming. Being a stock market participant, I think stocks are promising gifts. What do you think? Do you have any plans? Let us know in the comments section of the marketfeed app.
