Markets Ahead

Exceptional gains worldwide!

Why did the market shoot up today?

• Yesterday, media houses reported that the UN has warned Central Banks regarding rapid rate hikes.
• U.S markets closed 2% up.
• Bullishness in other global markets.
• Nifty took support from 200-Day EMA yesterday.
• Yesterday’s candle was within Friday’s strong green candle.
• Strong Q2 business updates from Financial companies.

Today, Nifty has almost broken the 50-Day EMA, which is a highly bullish signal (bounced back from 200-Day EMA). Also, it has sustained the big gap-up, and we did not see any major profit booking. Nifty will have to break 17,400 for this recovery to continue.

Bank Nifty had an amazing close today. It has broken 50-Day EMA and consolidated well above 39k. We can confirm this breakout if 39,550 is broken on an hourly candle. 

FinNifty has closed above 17,735 resistance and 50-Day EMA.

We have seen bullishness in multiple sectors earlier, but most of the indices gaining more than 2% are not usual and this could be an FII activity.

Reliance needs to break 2,418-2,427 resistance to move up further.

HDFC Bank has broken 50 and 200-Day EMA resistances.

The market is giving bullish signals technically. But our market will be closed tomorrow. And we are not sure how U.S Fed responds to the rate hike warning.
