Will Nifty continue the winning streak to rise above 19900? 8 things to know before share market opens

GIFT Nifty traded up 168.5 points or 0.85% at 20,031.5, indicating a positive opening for domestic indices NSE Nifty 50 and BSE Sensex on Wednesday. Previously, on Tuesday, the NSE Nifty 50 gained 95 points or 0.48% to settle at 19,889.70, while the BSE Sensex jumped 204 points or 0.31% to 66,174.21.

“Markets started the holiday-shortened week on a firm note and gained nearly half a percent. The tone was subdued for most of the session however a sharp surge in the final hour helped the Nifty to close around the day’s high at 19,894 levels. Nifty has finally surpassed the hurdle at 19,850 and now we expect the index to inch toward a new high. Needless to say, the quantum of rise would depend upon the performance of the banking, which has also reached closer to its immediate hurdle. We reiterate our view to continue with the ‘buy on dips’ approach and prefer stocks with relatively higher strength for fresh buying,” said Ajit Mishra, SVP – Technical Research, Religare Broking.

Technical View

Commenting on the Technical outlook of the Nifty 50, Rupak De, Senior Technical analyst at LKP Securities, said, “The Nifty has risen above the recent consolidation high, indicating increased optimism among market participants. Furthermore, it has held steady above the critical near-term support level of 19,700. The sentiment is expected to stay positive, potentially leading to a new lifetime high in the short term. At the lower end, 19,700 could remain a crucial short-term support level.”

On the upside we expect the Bank Nifty to target levels of 44,500 from a short-term perspective,” said Jatin Gedia – Technical Research Analyst at Sharekhan by BNP Paribas.
