Nifty 50 Breaks Out: What’s Behind the Momentum?
India’s benchmark Nifty 50 index rose to the highest level in three weeks on Monday as optimism continues to build among investors. The index has now emerged from the trading range that was witnessed during the week with the help of heavyweight contributors such as HDFC Bank and the Adani Group counters bolstering investor confidence.
At the centre of this rally is an informative blotter constituted of better earnings estimates, a global sanguine signals, and renewed domestic demand across sectors. Even though the market has registered strong upward push, the major concern from the analysts is that in terms of technical indicators; support levels need to be sustained.
Technical Outlook: Critical Levels to Watch
In technical analysis, to continue bullish trend, the Nifty 50 needs to sustain above 24,150 levels. By continuing to trade above this support level analysts believe that the index is likely to retest the next higher resistance levels.
Resistance Levels:
Any further advance of the index could run into a barrier at the 19,800 level, where traders might begin to offload their profits. Surpassing this figure could lead to opportunities of twenty thousand and more.
Support Levels:
On the other hand, the 18,950 level has been established as a significant support level. A breach below this level may indicate a short term correction and hence the investors can slash their buying in anticipation of a dip.
Experts suggest that traders must be careful with volumes, and pay attention to the global cues as more macroeconomic releases are lined up for this week.

HDFC Bank:
