Nifty Private Bank and Financial Service also advanced more than 3%. rnLast week, Nifty retook its 50-DMA, did not add a distribution day, and registered an additional follow-through day, which are positive signs. We would like the index to hold its 50-DMA and trade above that. Without trying to predict and decode stories, we will take what the market gives and continue to monitor unfolding conditions. If the index falls further, adds a distribution day, and breaches its key moving averages, we may change the market status to an Uptrend Under Pressure. Focus on quality ideas emerging out of sound bases with relative strength line at or near new highs while reducing exposure to stocks breaking below key support levels. rnKey Results Today: I G Petrochemicals, Balaji Amines Limited, Mahanagar Gas , Poly Medicure, and others. rnKey News: rnShree Cement reported its Q4 FY21 results.
