Gaurav Ratnaparkhi of Sharekhan by BNP Paribas said the bulls managed to defend the swing low of 11,550 (crucial support) thus keeping the possibility of wave extension open.
Bulls staged smart comeback on April 24 after selling pressure seen in previous three consecutive sessions. The rally in banking & financials and technology stocks lifted benchmark indices above their psychological levels (39,000 on Sensex and 11,700 on Nifty).
The BSE Sensex rallied 489.80 points or 1.27 percent to close at 39,054.68 while the Nifty50 climbed 150.20 points or 1.30 percent to 11,726.20 and formed strong bullish candle on daily charts.
The sharp rebound ahead of April F&O expiry indicated that uptrend may continue and Nifty could move towards an all-time high of 11,850 levels in the near term, experts said.
"A long bull candle was formed on Wednesday from near the key lower support at 11,550 levels. Nifty holding on the said support could open up further upside as per the positive sequence of higher tops and bottoms," Nagaraj Shetti – Senior Technical & Derivative Analyst, HDFC Securities told Moneycontrol.
As per this pattern one may expect Nifty to move towards an all-time high of 11,850 levels in the near term, according to him.
Gaurav Ratnaparkhi, Senior Technical Analyst, Sharekhan by BNP Paribas said the bulls managed to defend the swing low of 11,550 (crucial support) thus keeping the possibility of wave extension open. "This means that the index has a scope to surpass the recent high of 11,856 & head towards the level of 12,170 in the short term.
"With Wednesday's bounce the Nifty has filled up the recent gap on the daily chart thus discarding the bearish Island pattern formation and this adds to the weight of evidence in favour of the bulls. So we expect positive momentum to continue going ahead," he added.
The broader markets underperformed frontliners with the Nifty Midcap index rising 0.4 percent and Smallcap 0.8 percent. All sectoral indices closed in green barring Auto. Nifty Bank, Financial Service and IT indices gained around 1.3 percent each.
