Global stock markets: Dow 30, -0.1%; S&P, -0.2%; Nasdaq, -0.7%; Nikkei, +0.1%; Hang Seng, +0.8%
Yesterday, Nifty quickly witnessed selling pressure after opening above 12,000. Massive profit booking was seen across the sectors. Nifty lost almost 300 points following a record 10 days of gains. Volume was higher than the previous session. In the broader market, both the Nifty Midcap and Smallcap were down 1.7% each.
On the sectoral front, all the sectoral indices closed in the red. Nifty Bank (-3.4%) declined the most, followed by other financial related stocks. Barring Nifty Metal (-0.5%), all the sectoral indices declined more than 1%.
Looking forward, we would prefer to see a follow-through day before shifting the market to a Confirmed Uptrend. (A follow-through day is a solid up session, generally a 1.5% or higher gain, with volume being higher than the previous day). Should this occur, the focus will be on ideas that show the best relative strength with good accumulation. Stocks that recover the quickest tend to lead the next run. On the flip side, if Nifty breaches its recent low of 10,790, the market will be moved back to a Downtrend.
