JSW Infrastructure Hits 52-Week High, Polycab Dips on Block Deal, UltraTech Cement Surges on Acquisition and more.

Technical Overview – Nifty 50

NIFTY reached a new all-time high of 24,100 levels on June 28, 2024. This week, the benchmark index has risen steadily and seems unstoppable. The index closed at the upper band of the rising channel and is reversing from the same. A bearish candle has formed on the index.

The horizontal resistance breach was highlighted by the RSI (14) momentum indicator, which closed at the 69 level. The fact that the MACD is rising and above its polarity indicates that the positive trend should continue. The fact that the index is above each major DEMA adds extra support to the general bullishness.

For the upcoming sessions, the support and resistance levels are 24,200 and 24,400 and 23,800 and 23,650, respectively.

Technical Overview – Bank Nifty

The banking index had a pretty dull day and closed close to its bottom from yesterday. On a daily basis, the index has created an Evening Star candlestick pattern. Banking index is underperforming benchmark index. 

The barrier at the downward-sloping trend line of the RSI (14) momentum indicator explains the lag in the upward momentum. The fact that the MACD is rising and above its polarity indicates that the positive trend should continue. Since the index is above each major DEMA, mean reversion movements could occur, but the overall bullish outlook is unaffected. 

For the next sessions, the resistance and support levels are 53,250–53,500 for resistance and 52,600–52,350 for support.
