Market Outlook By Sameet Chavan, Head Research, Technical and Derivative - Angel One
The Indian equity markets navigated a highly volatile trading week with significant swings in both directions. Despite initial record highs, the market experienced a downturn following the election verdict. However, bullish market participants capitalized on the opportunity to not only stage a modest recovery but also drive the markets to new lifetime highs. The week rounded off with the Nifty50 index achieving its highest-ever weekly closure around 23300 levels, procuring over 3.30 percent.
The phrase "All's well that ends well" perfectly describes the roller-coaster journey Indian equities experienced last week. Amidst the Lok Sabha election verdicts, the market faced heart-stumbling moments, making it an eventful and nerve-wracking week. The participation in recouping the fall portrayed a constructive development with a strong bullish undertone in the markets. From a technical standpoint, Nifty positioned itself above all the significant EMAs, slightly above the higher band of the ‘Rising Channel’, showcasing an inherent bullish quotient. As the benchmark settles near its all-time high (ATH), it becomes challenging to forecast the ultimate resistance zone, although 23500 is very close by now. On the lower side, 23000-22800 is the zone that is likely to provide support in case of any upcoming intra-week dips for the index. The increased participation across the board has boosted market sentiment, and any additional contribution is likely to have a similar impact. The macro data suggests a buoyant undertone and going forward, the global developments could play a crucial role in dictating the intermediate trend for our markets. Meanwhile, one should note that our markets have witnessed a worthy swing of nearly 2000 points and now might attract some consolidation before setting up the next leg of the rally; hence, keeping a pragmatic approach is advisable.
