Mumbai, Nov 27 (NationPress) The Indian stock markets gained momentum after a sluggish start on Thursday, with the Nifty index achieving a new record high.
The Nifty surged to an unprecedented all-time high of 26,295.55, surpassing its previous record of 26,277 set on September 27, 2024. This milestone was reached after 287 trading sessions.
The Nifty continued its upward trend, reinforcing a bullish sentiment following a period of consolidation.
Market analysts noted, "The index now has robust immediate support in the 26,050–26,100 range, which has consistently functioned as a demand zone. On the upside, resistance has gradually shifted towards the 26,300–26,350 range, where selling pressure is expected to manifest and potentially restrict near-term gains."
The Sensex also showed positive movement, climbing 240 points or 0.28 percent to 85,850. The Bank Nifty displayed consistent strength, bolstered by buying interest at lower levels.
Analysts mentioned, "The index currently maintains support at 59,200–59,300, a critical zone for upholding its positive structure. On the resistance side, the 59,700–59,800 band remains significant, as a decisive breakout above this level is essential to confirm the next phase of directional movement."
Broader market indices experienced modest increases, with the Nifty MidCap index rising 0.16 percent and the Nifty SmallCap index advancing 0.07 percent.
Among sectors, the Nifty Metal index led the gains with a 0.5 percent rise, followed by the Nifty Auto index, which appreciated 0.35 percent.
The Nifty Bank index also reached a new high, hitting 59,802.65 after a 0.4 percent increase.
Market sentiment improved throughout the day, driven by buying activity across essential sectors.
Market watchers advised, "In light of the ongoing volatility and global uncertainties, traders should consider a selective buy-on-dips strategy, manage leverage wisely, and utilize tight trailing stop-losses with staggered profit-booking."
Meanwhile, foreign institutional investors (FIIs) continued their acquisition streak, purchasing equities valued at Rs 4,778 crore on November 26, while domestic institutional investors (DIIs) invested an additional Rs 6,247 crore during the same period.
