Here is what experts suggest investors should do on April 29:
Chandan Taparia, Vice President | Analyst-Derivatives, Motilal Oswal Financial Services Limited
The index formed a Bullish candle on the daily scale and has been forming higher highs – higher lows since the last four sessions.
Now, the Nifty50 has to continue to hold above 14800 zones to witness an up move towards 15000 and 15150 zones, while on the downside, support exists at 14650 and 14500 zones.
Rohit Singre, Senior Technical Analyst at LKP Securities
The indices saw a gap-up opening in which the low of the day was the same as the opening levels. Nifty settled above 14850 with good gains of 1.5 percent.
The index has given descending channel pattern breakout on the daily chart which hints if current levels are held, we may see a good northward move in the near term.
The immediate support has shifted to the 14750-14650 zone, and the resistance is placed at the 14950-15000 zone. A fresh breakout can be seen above 15,000 mark which acted previously as a strong hurdle.
Manish Hathiramani, proprietary index trader and technical analyst, Deen Dayal Investments
The market has successfully closed above the 14700 levels and this is a positive signal. We should now be headed to 15100.
The index has good support at 14300-14400 and as long as that holds, we could use any intra-day correction or dip to buy into this market for higher targets.
Ashis Biswas, Head of Technical Research at CapitalVia Global Research Limited.
The market witnessed the continuation in the rally after the breakout above the level of 14550. On the upside, 14900 could act as a resistance in the market.
If the market breaks above the level of 14900 and sustains then a new bullish rally will take place which could take the index towards 15200.
The momentum indicators like RSI and MACD support the upside move and indicate potential upside from the current market level.
S Ranganathan, Head of Research at LKP Securities.
Bulls went on a rampage today with banks & autos (two-wheeler stocks) in focus. The HDFC twins & Bajaj twins lent good support to the Indices with the broader market displaying strength across sectors.
