India Market Outlook

  1. GIFT Nifty Projection:

    • Gift Nifty suggests a flat to positive opening for the Indian markets and is likely to consolidate in the broad range of 24,000 -24,700.

  2. Market in Previous Session:

    • The Indian equity markets indeed ended positively on October 28, breaking a five-day losing streak. 

    • Nifty saw a strong performance, nearly reaching the 24,500 mark intraday. This rally was led by robust buying across various sectors, notably in banking and metal stocks, which contributed to the market’s upward momentum.

    • At close, the Sensex was up 602.75 points or 0.76 per cent at 80,005.04, and the Nifty was up 158.35 points or 0.65 per cent at 24,339.15.

  3. Nifty Short-Term Outlook:

    • Nifty has been maintaining a lower high and lower low pattern, indicating a corrective bias. It has broken down its key neckline level (24,750). We believe this breakdown has important support near 24,000 followed by 23,780 which corresponds to the 50% retracement of the previous swing.

    • If the index holds above the supply area of 24500-24520, then an upward move toward the 24,750–24,800 range could still be in play.

    • Nifty: Intraday resistance is at 24,525 followed by 24,680 levels. Conversely, downside support is located at 24,170, followed by 23,975.
