Market Pulse: Confirmed Uptrend

Distribution Day Count: Three

Global stock markets: Dow30, -0.4%; S&P 500, +0.2%; Nasdaq, +1%; Kospi, -0.4%; Nikkei, -0.9%; Shanghai Composite, -0.6%

Yesterday, Nifty gapped up to open at a new all-time high. However, it failed to hold the opening gains and dropped more than 100 points from the high, closing 0.3% lower. Yesterday’s action was not considered a distribution day as the volume was lower compared to Friday’s session.

The broader market outperformed the benchmark indices. There was mixed action on the sectoral front. Nifty Metal, Pharma, and PSU Bank closed 1.2–2.5% higher. On the flip side, Nifty IT, Media, and Financial Services closed 0.3–0.7% lower.

Nifty is only a few points below its all-time high and has near-term support near its rising 21-DMA. We will continue to monitor the action for signs of health or crack in the market and leaders. The distribution day count currently stands at three. If the index falls further, adds a distribution day, and breaches its key moving averages, we may change the market status to an Uptrend Under Pressure. Focus on quality ideas emerging out of sound bases with RS line at or near new highs while reducing exposure to stocks breaking below key support levels.
