Market wrap: BEL, Adani Ent, TCS, HCL Tech top gainers and losers on Nifty and Sensex on Wednesday

Indian equity benchmarks extended their winning streak to a fifth consecutive session on Wednesday, as easing crude oil prices and hopes of further progress in US-Iran diplomatic negotiations lifted investor sentiment and triggered broad-based buying across domestic equities.

The Nifty 50 climbed 150 points, or 0.63%, to settle at 23,961, while the BSE Sensex advanced 383 points, or 0.50%, to close at 77,301.

Sectorally, realty and metal stocks led the gains, with the Nifty Realty and Nifty Metal indices jumping nearly 3% each. The Nifty Consumer Durables index also advanced over 2%, emerging among the top-performing sectoral indices. However, the rally was not uniform, with the Nifty IT index bucking the broader market trend to decline 1.5%.

Market breadth on the NSE remained firmly positive, reflecting widespread buying interest. Of the 3,704 stocks traded, 2,720 advanced, 883 declined and 101 remained unchanged.

Technical View

During Wednesday’s session, minor intraday profit booking in the Nifty was absorbed near its 100-day moving average, indicating strong buying interest and continued bullish control.

“The 100-DMA, placed around 23,700, is expected to act as an immediate support for the index. On the upside, the 24,000 zone remains a crucial resistance, coinciding with the psychological hurdle and the 200-DMA. Hence, a Buy on Dips strategy remains preferable, with support at 23,700 and resistance at 24,000 and 24,200 levels," said Vatsal Bhuva, Technical Analyst at LKP Securities.
