Market Outlook by Dharmesh Shah, Vice President, ICICI Securities
Equity benchmark resumed the uptrend after two weeks breather and settled eventful week at 25,910, up 1.6%. Midcaps continued with its winning streak, consequently clocking fresh All Time High after Sept-24. Beaten down IT, Defence and Pharma sectors staged a strong rebound meanwhile realty, FMCG continued with its breather. The weekly price action formed a bull candle carrying higher high-low, indicating revival in upward momentum Index displayed resilience by providing buying demand in the vicinity of 50 days EMA and enabling the formation of higher base while sailing through global as well as domestic volatility.
This makes us believe that, past three weeks consolidation has created launchpad for Nifty 50 to challenge All Time High of 26,300 in the coming month. Further, softer inflation reading along with better-than-expected Q2 earnings reinforces positive momentum that would drive index higher.
Hence, any decline should be used as buying opportunity as strong support is placed at 25,300 as it is 50% retracement of Sept-Oct rally (24,588-26,104) coincided with 50 days EMA.
