NIFTY VIEW: Index could move towards all time high of 18,887 in next few months

The Nifty registered a new all time high on December 1, 2022 and entered short term correction phase thereon.

The index corrected for 3 consecutive weeks post which it witnessed some relief in the last week of December 2022 as it received support near the 20 WMA.

Thus the Nifty has posted a positive weekly close whereas for the month of December the index has formed a bearish outside bar & an Engulfing Bear candle on the monthly chart.

This shows that the index can remain under pressure in the short term. The daily chart shows that a rising trendline is acting as a resistance along with the key DMAs.

Thus the index can witness a short term consolidation in the range of 17800-18400. Once the short term consolidation phase is over then the index will be set to resume its larger up trend & can head towards the all time high of 18887 in the next couple of months.

CLOSING VIEW: Value buying to be key theme of 2023

On the last day of a tumultuous year, domestic indices shed their early gains as negative signals from global peers pushed indices lower.

Investors remained concerned over the economic outlook for the new year underpinned by growing fears of recession.

The ongoing volatility is expected to be sustain in the near-term because of high interest rates and a slowing economy.

We believe that value buying is the theme of 2023. Fair valuation, steady earnings, and a robust demand scenario will be the cutting parameters.
