Indian equities open higher as Nifty tops 23,100 and Sensex climbs over 700 points

Indian equities opened higher on Wednesday, March 25, with early gains across key indices. The Nifty moved above 23,100, while the Sensex jumped more than 700 points in the opening session. Before the open, the GIFT Nifty traded at 23,059, up about 130 points. This pointed to a firm start despite guarded global mood.

Market sentiment also took support from overseas cues. Traders tracked a cautious return of optimism as signs of de-escalation came from the Middle East. The early move suggested risk appetite was improving, though investors still watched for fresh headlines. The opening rise followed a weak patch, so participants also looked for follow-through during the session.

"The presence of continuation patterns encourages us to extend upside objective to 23350-800. That said, a consolidation is initially favoured with 23000 capping upsides. While dips to 22880 would attract buying, slippage past the same will signal loss in momentum. We would however, retain upside hopes as long as above 22640," commented Anand James, Chief Market Strategist, Geojit Investments Limited.

Bank Nifty signals were mixed after recent declines. "On the daily chart, the index has formed a strong bullish candle after a series of declines, suggesting a temporary pause in the ongoing downtrend. The rebound has emerged from near the lower Bollinger Band, and the index is now attempting to move back toward the middle band. The RSI has moved up toward 31, recovering from oversold levels, but still reflects limited strength in momentum," said Om Mehra, Technical Research Analyst, SAMCO Securities.

"On the hourly chart, the index is showing a gradual improvement from lower levels. The recovery remains intact as long as 52,000-51,800 is protected on a closing basis. However, the bounce is approaching an important resistance zone near 53,200-53,500. The current move reflects a short-term relief rally, while the broader trend remains in a corrective phase," he added.

Anand James also shared two trade ideas for a five-day holding period. The view followed a doji on the Nifty after a run of falls. This pattern suggested a relief rebound from lower levels. The stock calls used a pinbar doji setup, with defined targets and stoploss levels for risk control.
