The NIFTY50, a benchmark for the Indian stock market, extended its consolidation with a positive bias for the second consecutive week. Trading within a 270-point range, the index closed at 23,501, marking a modest gain of 0.15%.
Sensex (52,501)
Similarly, the Sensex, traded within a narrow range but managed to close the week at 52,501, up by 0.28%.
Performance Table:
Index | Close | Weekly Change | Monthly Change |
NIFTY50 | 23,501 | 0.15% | 2.32% |

Nifty Smallcap | 9,501 | 1.06% | 7.82% |
Bank Nifty | 51,661 | 3.32% | 5.93% |
The NIFTY50 formed a high wave candle with a higher high and higher low, signaling consolidation at an all-time high for the second week in a row. The weekly stochastic approached overbought territory with a reading of 96, suggesting potential profit booking at higher levels in the near term.
The broader market also performed in tandem with the benchmark indices. The Nifty Midcap and Nifty Smallcap closed the week higher by 0.37% and 1.06%, respectively. This indicates a healthy participation across market segments.
Bank Nifty
Bank Nifty (51,661)
The Bank Nifty outperformed, registering a fresh all-time high of 51,957 before closing the week at 51,661, marking an impressive increase of 3.32%. The index benefited from strong institutional flows and renewed interest from FIIs (Foreign Institutional Investors).
US Market
The S&P 500 and the Nasdaq Composite hit record highs last week. However, profit booking at higher levels saw these indices give up some of their gains. The Dow Jones and S&P 500 ended the week positively, up by 1.45% and 0.61%, respectively. The market recorded modest gains during a shortened trading week, with value stocks outperforming growth shares.
S&P Global announced that its composite index of business activity rose to 54.6 in June, the best level in over two years.
US retail sales barely rose in May, and data for the prior month was significantly revised lower, indicating lackluster economic activity in the second quarter.

NIFTY50 Technical Analysis
Consolidation Range and Key Support Levels
The NIFTY50 is expected to consolidate within the range of 23,800 to 23,300. A breach below 23,300 could open further downside towards the key support area of 22,800. Despite an 11% rally from the June low, a temporary breather cannot be ruled out. This breather should be viewed as an opportunity for incremental buying, with strong support at 23,000-22,800 levels.
Weekly Stochastic and EMA Indicators
The weekly stochastic in the overbought territory suggests potential profit booking. The 10-week EMA (Exponential Moving Average) and the 38.2% Fibonacci retracement of the recent swing (21,281-23,664) at 22,800 provide robust support. This confluence of technical indicators reinforces the significance of the 22,800 level as a critical support zone.
Level | Support/Resistance |
23,800 | Resistance |
23,300 | Support |
23,000 | Key Support |
22,800 | Major Support |
Recent Performance and Outlook
The Bank Nifty moved out of the 49,500-50,800 range, registering a new high of 51,957. The index closed the week at 51,661, up by 3.32%, driven by strong institutional flows and renewed interest from FIIs.
Key Support and Resistance Levels
If the index sustains above the 51,000-51,200-support range, the momentum is expected to continue toward the 53,000 level. For trend-following traders, the 51,000 level is crucial. Any move below 51,000 may trigger selling, opening downside potential to 50,200-50,400 levels. Indicators like ADX (Average Directional Index) and MACD (Moving Average Convergence Divergence) suggest a strong trending move with no visible weakness, and RSI (Relative Strength Index) at 69 indicates bullish dominance.
Level | Support/Resistance |
53,000 | Resistance |
51,200 | Support |
51,000 | Key Support |
50,200 | Major Support |

Sectoral Indices: Sectors to Watch Out For
Railway Sector
The railway sector is poised for significant advancements and offers promising opportunities for investors in the stock market. Here are the key developments and trends to watch in the coming weeks:
Technological Advancements
Indian Railways is making substantial progress in signaling and telecommunication technology.
Automatic Signalling Upgrade: 15,000 km of railway lines are being upgraded to automatic signalling, enhancing operational efficiency and safety.
KAVACH Implementation: 37,000 km will be equipped with 'KAVACH', an Indigenous Train Collision Avoidance System, which will significantly reduce the risk of accidents and improve safety standards.
Foreign Direct Investment (FDI)
100% FDI Approval: The government has permitted 100% Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) in the railway sector. This move is expected to attract significant international capital and expertise, fostering modernization and growth.
National Rail Plan (NRP) for India - 2030
NRP Development: Indian Railways has developed the National Rail Plan (NRP) for India - 2030, aimed at creating a modern, efficient, and reliable railway system. This plan is a comprehensive blueprint for the future, focusing on enhancing capacity, improving infrastructure, and integrating advanced technologies.
Budget and Infrastructure Expansion
Budget Allocation: This year, Indian Railways is set to add 50,000 crore INR worth of new lines. These funds will be used to enhance rail safety and expand the Vande Bharat service to more regions.
Increased Budget Allocation: The Central Government, which has consistently increased the budget for new tracks over the years, might raise the allocation by 39% from the February interim budget figures. This significant increase highlights the government's commitment to expanding and modernizing the railway infrastructure.
Stocks to Buy:
Given these developments, certain railway stocks are particularly promising:
IRFC (Indian Railway Finance Corporation)
IRCON (Indian Railway Construction Limited)
RVNL (Rail Vikas Nigam Limited)
IRCTC (Indian Railway Catering and Tourism Corporation)
Investors should keep an eye on these stocks, as the advancements and increased investments in the railway sector are likely to drive their performance positively. The combination of technological upgrades, substantial government support, and favorable FDI policies makes the railway sector a key area for potential growth in the stock market today.
Recommendation: Buy in the range of 202-206
Target: 227
Stoploss: 191
The stock shows a strong technical setup with a target of 227, suggesting potential upside based on current price levels.
US Market: The S&P 500 and Nasdaq Composite reached record highs, indicating bullish sentiment, but profit booking at higher levels shows investor caution. Despite mixed economic data, the Dow Jones and S&P 500 displayed resilience.
European Market: The STOXX Europe 600 Index rose by 0.79%, with major stock indexes in Germany, France, Italy, and the UK showing positive gains due to improved sentiment and easing political uncertainty.
Asian Market: Japanese stock markets declined, with the Nikkei 225 and TOPIX falling due to uncertainties about the Bank of Japan's monetary policy. Chinese stocks also fell, with the Shanghai Composite Index down by 1.14% on mixed economic data.
The past week's market movements indicate a phase of consolidation with a positive bias. The technical outlook suggests that while profit booking at higher levels cannot be ruled out, the overall sentiment remains bullish with key support levels providing strong buying opportunities. Investors should keep an eye on global economic data and domestic events that could influence market dynamics in the coming weeks. By staying informed and leveraging technical analysis, traders and investors can navigate the market effectively, capitalizing on both short-term opportunities and long-term trends.
In summary, the market's resilience amidst mixed economic data and geopolitical uncertainties highlights the importance of a well-rounded investment strategy that incorporates both fundamental and technical analysis. As always, staying updated with the latest market insights and adapting to changing market conditions will be key to achieving investment success.
