Among sectors, Media index was the top gainer, rallied 2.40 per cent whereas selective PSU Banks and Energy stocks witnessed intraday profit booking at higher levels. Technically, after muted open the market took the support near 79,000 and bounced back sharply.
On daily charts, it has formed bullish candle and on intraday charts, it is holding higher bottom formation, which is largely positive.
“We are of the view that, the short-term texture of the market is positive, but due to temporary overbought conditions, we could see some profit booking at higher levels,” said Shrikant Chouhan, head (equity research), Kotak Securities.
For traders now, the 79,000 would act as a sacrosanct support zone. While 79,700-80,000 could be the immediate profit, booking zones for the day traders. On the flip side, below 79,000 traders may prefer to exit out from the trading long positions.
“Markets slipped into the red in early trades, but soon reversed the trend to trade higher as positive Asian and European cues fuelled recovery amid buying in banking, IT and telecom stocks,” says Prashanth Tapse, senior V-P (research), Mehta Equities. While there has been no negative news on economic parameters, investors are closely watching developments on the patchy monsoon so far and the upcoming Budget.
