SGX Nifty Indicates Positive Opening; Apollo Hospital to Raise Funds Worth Rs 1,500 Crore - Marketsmith India

Market status: Confirmed Uptrend Distribution Day: Two Global stock markets: Dow30, +0.2%, S&P500,+0.2%, Nasdaq,-0.1%, Nikkei, +0.2%; Kospi, +0.3%; Hang Seng, +0.3% Yesterday, Nifty opened on a flat-to-positive note and quickly turned negative. It moved in a narrow range in the first half of the session. In the second half, it was highly volatile, with selling pressure followed by buying, which helped Nifty close in the green. In the broader market, Nifty Midcap was up 0.5%, while Nifty Smallcap closed flat for the day. On the sectoral front, barring financial-related sectoral indices, all the indices closed in the green. Nifty Realty (+2.9%) and Metal (+2.6%) were the major advancers. Market breadth was inclined toward advancers. We are in a Confirmed Uptrend but need to be prudent and cautious while adding fresh positions, as Nifty is currently trading ~20% above its 200-DMA, which is rare. We might expect some pullback in the market. However, a small pullback/consolidation is a constructive sign if Nifty holds its 21-DMA. It is advised to closely review the existing positions and book partial profits in stocks that are extended from their moving averages. We will look for leadership among some good stocks to push the market up. On the flip side, tracking distribution days is crucial. An accumulation of distribution days can halt the uptrend.
