Nifty rose sharply and ended almost at the intra day high. The next stop on the upside is 14966-15044 band, said an analyst

Domestic equity market benchmarks BSE Sensex and Nifty, after rising on the first day of the week, are now looking to carry on the momentum further. SGX Nifty was up 157.60 points or 1.05 per cent at 15,113 on Singaporean Exchange, hinting at Nifty 50’s start above the crucial 15,000-mark on Tuesday. The 30-stock BSE Sensex ended Monday’s trading session up 848 points to sit at 49,580.73, while Nifty 50 ended at 14,923. “Nifty rose sharply and ended almost at the intraday high. The next stop on the upside is the 14966-15044 band. A breach of this band could lead to a challenge to the all-time highs of the Nifty (15432). On falls 14824-14850 band could provide support,” said Deepak Jasani, Head of Retail Research, HDFC Securities.
