Bullish sentiment is likely to continue

Mumbai: The market rally continues, with the Nifty ending 93 points higher, while the Sensex was up by 320 points. Among sectors, Pharma and Healthcare indices gained over 1 percent, whereas intraday profit booking was seen in selective Defence stocks.

Technically, after a gap-up open, the market witnessed some selling pressure at higher levels. However, the short-term outlook remains positive.

Shrikant Chouhan, Head - Equity Research, Kotak Securities, said: “For day traders, the higher bottom support is placed near 82,700. We are of the view that as long as the market trades above this level, the bullish sentiment is likely to continue.

“On the higher side, 83,300 would act as an immediate resistance zone for the bulls. A successful breakout above 83,300 could push the market up to 83,500-83,600. On the flip side, if it falls below 82,700, the uptrend would become vulnerable. Below this level, traders may prefer to exit their long positions.”
