Bulls took charge of D-Street from the word go tracking strong global cues after getting knocked down in the previous session. However, the momentum wasn't enough to take the index above its crucial resistance level of 8,800. Till the time the index trades above 8720, it is 'buy on dips' market, suggest experts.

The S&P BSE Sensex closed 145.71 points higher or 0.52 per cent at 28,301.27 while Nifty50 ended 53.30 points up at 8,778. However, the rally was more pronounced in the broader market.

The S&P BSE Smallcap index ended 1.3 per cent higher while the S&P BSE Midcap index rose 1.25 per cent on Thursday.

In the sectoral landscape healthcare, IT, realty, consumer durables, auto, and metal stocks saw some gain while FMCG stocks saw some profit booking decline.

So, what moved the market today? We have with us Siddhartha Khemka, Head - Equity Research (Wealth) at Centrum Broking Limited, giving us a lowdown.

On the technical front, Nifty50 managed to hold above 8,720 and witnessed a recovery towards 8,783 level. It formed a 'Harami' pattern on the daily chart as it traded inside the trading range of the last session which means it negated the immediate effect of selling pressure.

It has multiple hurdles placed near 8,820 and above that only bulls will get comfort in the market to extend this move towards 8,888 and 8,968.

So does this technical setup signal a cautious undertone in the market? Chandan Taparia, Associate Vice President, Analyst-Derivatives at Motilal Oswal Securities Limited, explains.
