We believe in the short run, the index will oscillate in a range where 19,850 will be a crucial resistance while the downside is protected at its strong support band of 19,550-19,580. In the case of BankNifty, the index is likely to retest its 200DMA support which comes around 43,250 while on the rise, it may face resistance at 44,060. The much-awaited breakout was seen in the Auto and Infra sectors which indicates a continuation of an uptrend (Bajaj Auto, Eicher Motors, Hero Motocorp, Capacite Infraprojects, ITD Cementation, and Welspun Enterprises). An uptrend in the Pharma segment will continue from hereon as well as it has given a breakout from a Pennant and Pole formation (Dr Reddy, Zydus, and LifeGranules). We are bullish on the stocks that were previously mentioned as well i.e. Alkem, IPCA Labs, and Sun Pharma. Railway stocks are hinting towards another round of a rally (Ircon, IRFC, Railtel, TexRail, RVNL)."
