The Indian stock market experienced a robust buying spree on Tuesday, fueled by positive sentiment stemming from de-escalation in US-Iran tensions. The benchmark Nifty 50 index concluded the session 233 points higher, settling at 24,261. Similarly, the BSE Sensex demonstrated strong upward momentum, gaining 639 points to close at 78,205. The banking sector also saw significant activity, with the Bank Nifty index surging 931 points to finish at 56,950.
Analyzing sectoral performance, the auto index emerged as the top performer, recording gains exceeding 3%. Conversely, the IT index experienced some intraday profit booking at higher levels. Experts suggest that for the Nifty 50 to establish further clarity and conviction for an upward move, it needs to stabilize and close above the 24,400-24,500 band. The 23,700 zone is identified as a crucial support level to monitor.
Regarding the Bank Nifty, analysts noted its recovery towards the 57,000 zone within an ascending channel pattern. A move past the immediate resistance at 57,800 is necessary to fill a recent gap and build conviction. The 55,200 level is considered a near-term support, which needs to be sustained. A cautious approach is advised for investors, with anticipation of continued volatility.
