Markets Ahead
That was a huge recovery rally we saw today. You can see that the Pre Market Analysis mentioned a 150-point up-move to see a green close for the week. That has happened and the recovery was so strong that the entire candle changed.
Let us closely watch 17,300 on the downside. 39,900 is the corresponding level in BNF. We should see Nifty breaking 18K to reverse the trend with strength as 17,944 is the previous swing point.
Reliance moved up by more than 2.5% and HDFC Bank moved up by 2%. There was positivity in all the sectors today.
The block deal in Adani led to the positivity we are seeing right now. This is the largest single day-gain in NIFTY in 2023 (so far!).
Let us see if this recovery move can continue!
