Geojit's Nifty Outlook For New Year's Day
Anand James, Chief Market Strategist at Geojit Financial Services said: We are close to the 21860 objective that we had pencilled in last week. If the bulls choose to ride on the momentum, we could stretch as far as 22400, but we feel that a turn lower or side ways move is highly likely given how pronounced the negative divergence is on the directional moving indicator, and with 3d RSI peaking. That we are about 8.5% above the 100 DMA also supports this construct, as the last time we were more than 10% above this benchmark, which was in late July 2023, a three month consolidation followed. We will use 21730 as a pivot to go with this construct this week.

Key Factors For Market
As per Dr. V K Vijayakumar, Chief Investment Strategist at Geojit Financial Services, "As the New Year begins it is a Goldilocks scenario for the economy and markets. The growth momentum in the economy is strong. 7% GDP growth in FY24 is likely to be followed by around 6.7% growth in FY25 with decent corporate earnings growth. The banking system is in the pink of health and all macroeconomic indicators are stable. Political stability after the General elections looks almost certain. From the global perspective, the US economy appears to be heading for soft landing. The US 10-year bond yield at 3.87 % and the dollar index at 100.6 are tailwinds for the market. FPI inflows in 2024 are likely to be robust. The concern, however, is that most of this good news is in the price; valuations are a bit stretched and above the long-term averages. So, the market is vulnerable to corrections from presently unknown risks. The broader market is overvalued; safety is in large-caps.
