As the smallcap index hit a record high, stocks including Wonderla Holidays jumped over 16 percent followed by Force Motors, MSTC, NESCO and HBL Power which jumped 12-16 percent each.

According to Aditya Agarwala, Senior Technical Analyst at YES SECURITIES, the broader markets resumed their outperformance vis-à-vis the Nifty50 index. The midcap index gained 0.47 percent while smallcap index gained 2 percent for the week.

“However, following the constant outperformance of the smallcap index it is approaching overbought territory i.e. RSI nearing 80 levels which previously has acted as a reversal zone,” he said.

“A larger time frame chart suggests that the uptrend could enter a consolidation phase or a minor corrective wave; therefore, market participants should be little cautious entering markets specially the broader market space at current levels,” he added.
