Bizz Buzz Pre-market Thursday: Things to know before opening bell

On January 10, the BSE Sensex witnessed a 272-point surge, reaching 71,658, while the Nifty 50 recorded a 74-point increase, closing at 21,619. The Nifty formed a bullish candlestick pattern with a long lower shadow on the daily timeframe, indicating buying interest at lower levels.

Experts believe that the Nifty may experience an upward movement towards the range of 21,700-21,850, considering the sharp recovery from the day's low and its ability to consistently hold the 21,500 mark on a closing basis. The technical analysis suggests a false downside breakout of the immediate support at 21,500, with renewed buying emerging from the lows.

Nagaraj Shetti, senior technical research analyst at HDFC Securities, noted that the short-term trend of Nifty seems to have reversed upward after a minor decline in the last two sessions. He expects the Nifty to retest the upper trajectory around 21,750-21,850 levels in the next few sessions, with immediate support at 21,450 levels.

Kunal Shah, senior technical & derivative analyst at LKP Securities, stated that if the index manages to close above 21,700-21,750 levels, it might pave the way for the Nifty to reach 22,000.

The India VIX, a fear index, dropped further by 2.2 percent to 12.97 levels, providing comfort for bulls.
