Market Overview
On Tuesday, May 28, the Indian stock market closed in the red for the third consecutive session, with both the Sensex and the Nifty 50 experiencing declines. This ongoing volatility is attributed to substantial foreign capital outflows driven by election-related caution. The market's performance has been influenced by high valuations, mixed global signals, and a lack of new catalysts.
ICICI Direct maintains a positive outlook, expecting the Nifty to reach 23,400 in the coming weeks. The brokerage firm highlights a breakout from a three-month consolidation period and a rapid retracement of the past nine weeks of consolidation (22,800-21,700) within just two weeks. This swift retracement indicates a strong price structure, suggesting a continuation of the current uptrend. Despite high volatility due to the ongoing general election phases and the Q4 earnings season, ICICI Direct advises investors to focus on the bigger picture and utilize retracement as a buying opportunity.
