Biocon and Bajaj Finserv to Declare Q4 Results Today | Marketsmith India

Market Pulse: Rally Attempt Global stock markets: Dow30, +0.01%; S&P 500, -0.02%; Nasdaq, -0.3%; Nikkei, +0.4%; Kospi, -0.9% Nifty opened flat yesterday, gradually moved higher, and closed near the day’s high. As gains were less than 1.5%, we did not consider it a follow-through day. Note that even though market breadth has improved and Nifty reclaimed its 21-DMA, volumes were comparatively lower on Nifty and the index is still below its 50-DMA. On the sectoral front, all sectors closed in the green. Nifty Metal (+2.7%) was the top gainer, followed by Nifty Bank (+1.5%). FIIs were net sellers (Rs 1,454 crore), while DIIs were net buyers (Rs 1,463 crore). Looking ahead, we would prefer to see a follow-through day before shifting the market to a Confirmed Uptrend. A follow-through day is a solid up session, generally a 1.5% or higher gain, with volume higher than the previous day. Should this occur, the focus will be on ideas breaking out of early-stage base patterns and showing the best relative strength with good accumulation. On the flip side, Nifty is still below its 50-DMA and about 5% off its last high. So, if it breaches its recent low of 14,151, the market will be moved back to a Downtrend.
