Post Friday’s thud, the Nifty recouped some of its losses, marking day’s high at 14,807. Today’s price action took the form of an inside bar pattern, closing at 14,762 turning the Nifty breadth turned positive. Moreover, all the sectoral indices ended in the green, barring PSU Bank index. Nifty is likely to digest its recent decline. However, levels of 15,950-15,050 could act as an immediate hurdle zone.

Bank Nifty traded above 35,000 through most of the session. However, the level of 36,000 is likely to act as a resistance.


Media index stood out strongly, gaining 4.5%. Positive follow through could attract further buying interest.

The Nifty Midcap 100 index registered a record closing. It represents strength within this space and further outperformance is likely.
