Market status: Confirmed Uptrend Confirmed Uptrend Distribution Day: Two Global stock markets: Dow30, -0.5%; S&P500, -0.2%; Nasdaq, +0.5%; Nikkei, -0.3%; Kospi, -0.8%; Hang Seng, -0.5% Nifty opened relatively flat yesterday morning but gained momentum as the day wore on. It was the third consecutive day when Nifty made a new high. Midcap and Smallcap indices continued to rally and outperformed benchmark indices. On the sectoral front, all major indices closed in the green. Nifty IT, Pharma, and PSU Banks closed 1.5–2.0% higher. Also, gain in Nifty IT, Bank, and Financial Services pushed the market higher. Market breadth was skewed toward advancers. Out of 2,239 stocks traded, 1,382 stocks advanced, 521 declined, and the remaining stocks unchanged. Nifty is trading 4.0%, 9.3%, and 24.0% above its 21-, 50-, and 200-DMA, respectively. We maintain a positive view of the overall market as indices trend into new highs with low distribution day count. Further, leadership remains widespread across multiple sectors. We continue to recommend a selective approach to increase risk. Focus on high-quality ideas emerging from sound bases with an RS line at or near a new high. After a strong rally, pullback/consolidation (if any) is a constructive sign if Nifty holds its short-term moving averages. On the flip side, tracking distribution days is crucial. Accumulation of distribution days can be a sign of market top and halt the uptrend.
