Global stock markets: Dow 30, -0.4%; S&P, -0.2%; Nasdaq, -0.1%; Nikkei, -0.8%; Hang Seng, -0.6% Yesterday, Nifty opened with strong gains and continued to move higher, thereby crossing 12,000 mark. In the second half, Nifty staged a downside reversal and dropped more than 200 points off highs. However, in the last hour, Nifty jumped off lows and recovered more than 150 points to close 0.3% higher. Volume was higher across the board. Nifty is trading 4% and 11.5% above is 50- and 200-DMA, respectively. On the sectoral front, gains were led by Nifty Realty (+4.4%), Metal (+2.3%), and Bank (+1.4%). On the flip side, Nifty IT, FMCG, and Auto underperformed. Looking forward, 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 being higher than the previous day). Should this occur, the focus will be on ideas that show the best relative strength with good accumulation. Stocks that recover the quickest tend to lead the next run. On the flip side, if Nifty breaches its recent low of 10,790, the market will be moved back to a Downtrend.
