Indian stock market: The Indian market saw another day of consolidation on Tuesday, with traders staying cautious ahead of the Federal Reserve’s upcoming policy meeting. On Wednesday, the Fed is anticipated to announce its first rate cut since 2020.
The Nifty 50 closed the session with a 0.14% rise at 25,418 points, just 27 points shy of its all-time high of 25,445 points, which it approached during the day. Meanwhile, the S&P BSE Sensex recorded a 0.11% gain, closing at 83,079 points, setting a new peak.
“The domestic benchmark indices opened on a positive note, in line with global cues. Nifty started the day on a flat to positive note and traded within a narrow range throughout the day. As a result, the index settled the day with a marginal positive note at 25,419.
“Technically, the index on a daily scale formed a doji candle near its all-time high, signaling some short-term hesitation. However, the fact that Nifty remained above 25,335 (the breakout level of the rounding bottom pattern) suggests underlying strength. The 21-DEMA support is currently placed near 25,060, which will act as the next major support for the index. As long as Nifty stays above 25,060, a “buy on dips” strategy is advisable, with the potential for the index to test 25,600 in the short term.
Bank Nifty started the day on a positive note but was unable to sustain higher levels, leading to consolidation within a narrow range. As a result, the index settled the day with a marginal positive note at 52,189. Technically, the index sustained above the cup-and-handle breakout level of 51,750, indicating potential strength. Therefore, the 51,700–51,750 zone will act as immediate support for Bank Nifty in the short term. If the index holds the 51,700 support, it could test levels of 52,800–53,000 in the short term,” said Hrishikesh Yedve, AVP Technical and Derivatives Research at Asit C. Mehta Investment Interrmediates Ltd.
