Nifty likely to see new high in Samvat 2077, bet on these 8 stock ideas

The benchmark Nifty50 surged over 60 percent in just more than 8 months, after hitting the levels of 7,510 in March 2020, driven by buying across sectors.

The major buying was seen in auto, bank, IT, metal, pharma, and financial services indices which gained 50-90 percent from their March lows. The broader markets, too, participated in the run with the Nifty Midcap index rising 60 percent and SmallCap up over 70 percent.

On the monthly basis, after the largest ever bearish candle in March, the Nifty50 has formed bullish candle in six out of eight months. Currently the index reclaimed 12,250 mark.

"Until the market is above the level of 10,800 (previous significant bottom), Nifty would keep rallying. Below 10,800 levels, Nifty would lose its momentum and may even fall to 10,300 levels," Shrikant Chouhan, Executive Vice President (Equity Technical Research) at Kotak Securities told Moneycontrol.

However, on the decisive crossing of 12,400 levels would lift the Nifty to 13,300 levels, he said.
