Stock Market Comment: 'Buy-on-dips strategy to benefit traders till Nifty holds 24,000'

On the technical front, a Piercing Line candlestick pattern has appeared on the daily chart, suggesting a potential bullish reversal. Additionally, a positive divergence on the daily RSI further strengthens the case for an upward move.

Looking ahead, a buy-on-dips strategy could benefit traders as long as Nifty stays above 24,000. On the higher side, Nifty may advance toward the 24,750-24,800 range. However, the buy-on-dips strategy has to be reviewed once Nifty falls back below 24000.

Stock Market Comment: Why did markets rebound today?

The domestic market experienced a sharp recovery, reclaiming most of the previous day’s losses amid uncertainty surrounding the likely downgrade in Q2 GDP forecast and closely contested US presidential election. 

However, the recent rebound in domestic manufacturing activity data, along with the expected revival of consumption in the H2, are likely to support market sentiment. Metals led the gains, driven by the anticipation of significant stimulus from China later this week.
