Market Performance Key Takeaways For The Week The FY25 financial year kicked off on a high note with the
Nifty50 index reaching new heights, closing slightly above the 22,500 zone, marking the highest-ever weekly closure with a 0.84% gain. This performance came amid global and domestic events, with positive momentum in the banking sector after the Monetary Policy Committee's expected status quo. With the Nifty index now in unexplored territory, further gains of 200 - 300 points are anticipated if global conditions remain favourable, supported by strong technical indicators and robust market participation.
Despite the initial optimism, the week's trading showed cautious
bullishness, with the Nifty50 maintaining higher levels without strong conviction. Technical analysis suggests the Nifty faces immediate strong support around the 22,350 - 22,300 range, with critical support at 22,200. Market watchers are advised to monitor global developments closely as they could influence the market's immediate direction, with the domestic market poised to continue its upward trajectory barring any significant adverse events.
Bank Nifty also mirrored the positive start to the new fiscal year, closing at an all-time high of 48,493 after a week of narrow range trading and a significant surge towards the end. The index showed resilience, overcoming selling pressure at higher levels and signalling a bullish sentiment post-RBI monetary policy announcement. However, it faces resistance around its all-time high levels, suggesting a potentially sideways movement with a positive outlook in the short term.
For Bank Nifty, traders might adopt a
"buy the dip" strategy, with short-term supports identified at the 47,700 - 47,450 zone and more substantial support at 46,900 - 46,550. Immediate resistance is expected around the 48,650 - 48,800 area. Both indices indicate a cautiously optimistic market environment, with recommendations for traders to maintain a pragmatic, stock-centric approach to capitalise on potential opportunities.
