Volatility remained high in the markets yesterday. Nifty started the session with a gain of 50 points but quickly turned negative and made a low of 17,326. Later, there was strong buying at the lower levels as the index rallied over 250 points from the day’s low. All indices closed higher on the sectoral front, except for Nifty Auto (-0.5%) and PSU Bank (-0.1%). Nifty Realty (+3.6%) led the rally, followed by Metal (+2.6%). Nifty FMCG, Media, IT, and Pharma closed 1.1–1.9% higher. The advance-decline ratio was in favor of advancers. Of 2,023 stocks traded, 995 stocks advanced, 955 stocks declined, and the remaining closed flat.
The distribution day count currently stands at Two. Further, Nifty is now trading near its all-time high, above all its key moving averages. We would like the index to continue this trend. After such a sudden rally, one must also be prepared for some mild profit booking. In the process, if the index adds a couple of distribution day, stages a reversal, or breaches its key moving averages, we may change the market status to an Uptrend Under Pressure. Reducing exposure to stocks breaking below their 21- or 50-DMA on higher volume is important.
