Indian Markets Bounce Back After Three Days of Losses
Indian equity benchmarks finally broke their three-day downward trend on Monday, November 10, registering modest gains driven by renewed buying interest in information technology and financial services stocks. The positive momentum was further supported by an optimistic global market sentiment that provided the necessary push for recovery.
The BSE Sensex concluded the trading session at 83,535, marking a significant gain of 319.07 points or 0.38%. Meanwhile, the broader Nifty 50 index settled at 25,574, climbing 82.05 points or 0.32% higher. During intraday trading, both indices demonstrated even stronger performance, reaching peaks of 0.64% above previous closing levels.
Sectoral Performance and Market Analysis
The market breadth showed widespread positivity with nearly all sectoral indices ending in positive territory. The only exception was the media index, which experienced a slight decline of 1%. The IT sector emerged as the standout performer, with the IT index surging 1.6% on the back of substantial buying activity in major technology firms.
Heavyweight IT stocks including Infosys, HCL Technologies, and Wipro contributed significantly to the sector's strong showing. The pharmaceutical and metal indices also posted respectable gains, advancing nearly 1% and 0.6% respectively, indicating broad-based market participation beyond the technology segment.
Expert Technical Outlook and Trading Strategy
Vaishali Parekh, Vice President of Technical Research at Prabhudas Lilladher, provided valuable insights into the market's technical positioning. She observed that the index has successfully found support at the crucial 50-day Exponential Moving Average level, suggesting that market sentiment has improved considerably.
"Nifty, after taking support near the important 50EMA at 25320 zone, continued with the positive move to extend gains and touched the 25650 zone during the intraday session," Parekh commented. This technical development indicates potential for further upward movement in the coming trading sessions according to the analyst.
Parekh emphasized that the Nifty 50 index needs to convincingly break through the 25750 resistance level to establish momentum for reaching higher targets of 26,100 and 26,500. The immediate support for Nifty remains at the 25300 level, which market participants should monitor closely.
Regarding the banking sector, the Bank Nifty index witnessed marginal gains but encountered resistance near the 58000 mark. Parekh noted that a decisive breach above the tough resistance zone of 58500 would open the gates for a fresh upward move toward the 60000 level. The index's downside support is positioned near the 50EMA at 56500 level.
