Mumbai, Nov 27 (NationPress) The Indian benchmark indices concluded on a positive trajectory on Thursday, having reached new record highs earlier in the day.
The Sensex wrapped up at 85,720.38, an increase of 110.87 points or 0.13 percent. Meanwhile, the Nifty finished at 26,215.55, rising by 10.25 points or 0.04 percent.
During the intra-day trading, the Sensex achieved a record high of 86,055.86, and the Nifty reached a new peak at 26,310.45.
From a technical standpoint, the 26,300 mark serves as a critical resistance and immediate breakout point.
“A significant close above this level could pave the way for fresh all-time highs in the 26,350–26,450 range,” remarked market analysts.
“Conversely, the 26,150–26,000 zone remains a robust support base, reinforced by consistent Put writing and ongoing buying interest,” they noted.
The Sensex continues to demonstrate a higher-high, higher-low pattern on the daily chart.
“Immediate resistance is identified around 86,000–86,500, while the 85,500–85,200 zone serves as the primary support foundation,” experts indicated.
As long as the Nifty maintains above this zone, the overall bullish trend remains intact, according to analysts.
In the broader market landscape, the Nifty Midcap 100 index saw a modest rise of 0.08 percent, while the Nifty Smallcap 100 index experienced a decline of 0.53 percent.
Among the companies listed on the Sensex, Bajaj Finance, ICICI Bank, Hindustan Unilever, Bajaj Finserv, and HCL Tech were notable gainers.
Other key gainers included Maruti Suzuki, Ultratech Cement, SBI, and Tata Steel.
Sector-wise, there was buying activity in the Nifty Bank, Financial Services, Media, IT, FMCG, and Chemicals indices, all of which closed positively.
However, sectors such as Auto, Energy, Metal, Oil & Gas, Realty, and Consumer Durables faced selling pressure and closed lower.
Analysts mention that market participants are closely monitoring tomorrow’s GDP report, along with significant events like the US-India agreement and the RBI policy meeting.
“These elements will be pivotal in shaping the near-term direction for equities,” they concluded.
