Stock Market LIVE Updates: Technical view
Stock Market LIVE Updates: The markets continued their upward momentum for the eighth straight session, with the Nifty surpassing its immediate resistance at 25,100. It opened on a gap-up note and formed a small-bodied bullish candle, reflecting continued positive sentiment. Additionally, a breakout from a symmetrical triangle pattern on the daily chart suggests further upside, with a conservative target of around 25,500 likely to be tested during the September series.
The index is trading comfortably above all key short-term and long-term moving averages, while the momentum indicator MACD has already given a buy crossover above the zero line. The support base continues to rise, with the immediate support now seen at the 50-day moving average, currently placed around the 24,900 level. The strategy should be to buy on declines as we have already seen a recent rally hence some profit taking at the higher levels can’t be ruled out. Given the recent rally, some profit-taking at higher levels is possible, so the recommended strategy is to buy on dips.
