Indian equities are expected to consolidate positively after a notable rally, with Nifty closing at 23,810.
Nifty gained 4.3% over the last four sessions, closing up 1.6% at 23,810.
Foreign portfolio investors bought shares worth Rs 6,836 crore on Tuesday.
GIFT Nifty indicates a potential negative start for the market on Wednesday.
In a notable market development, the Nifty index rose by 1.6% on Tuesday, closing at 23,810, marking its fourth consecutive session of gains. This upward trend is attributed to a combination of easing crude oil prices, sustained foreign fund inflows, and growing optimism regarding a potential review of long-term capital gains (LTCG) taxation for foreign investors.
The recent rally has led analysts to predict a consolidation phase for Indian equities, suggesting a positive bias in the market. The Nifty has experienced a total gain of 4.3% over the past four sessions, indicating a robust recovery. However, the GIFT Nifty, which serves as an early indicator for the Indian market, traded lower by 50 points, signaling a potentially negative opening for Dalal Street on Wednesday.
Market analysts have identified key technical levels for traders. The immediate resistance is seen at 24,000, where the 200-day moving average is located, while support is expected at 23,600. Traders are advised to consider partial profit booking near the resistance level while maintaining long positions with a stop-loss at the support level. Additionally, the India VIX, which measures market volatility, rose by 1.4% to settle at 15.72, reflecting a slight increase in market fear.
In the broader Asian market context, shares saw a modest uptick as technology stocks rebounded following strong earnings from chipmaker AMD. However, US futures indicated a mixed outlook, with the S&P 500 futures down by 0.3%. Meanwhile, gold prices increased slightly as oil prices dipped, driven by inflation concerns and anticipation of US midterm election results.
Looking ahead, investors are keenly awaiting the outcomes of the US midterm elections, which could significantly influence market dynamics. The rupee also showed resilience, gaining 9 paise against the US dollar, supported by foreign fund inflows amid strong domestic equity buying. As the market opens on Wednesday, traders will be closely monitoring these developments for potential impacts on their investment strategies.
