Daily Market Review
Market Status: Uptrend Under Pressure
Today was a highly volatile session as the Nifty swung around 200 points. Intraday, the Nifty breached 100-DMA, but it recovered from there and closed 0.7% higher. There was a flip in sectoral performance from yesterday’s session. Nifty PSU Banks and Pharma, who were top losers yesterday, gained the most today. The Nifty mid and smallcap indices closed 0.5% and 0.7% higher, respectively. The advance-decline ratio was marginally in favor of advancers.
Considering the Nifty breaching its 50-DMA and increasing distribution, we downgraded the market to an Uptrend Under Pressure last Wednesday. We’ll further downgrade the market if the distribution day count increases to more than 5-6 or if the Nifty breaches 200-DMA (11,035).
