Shrikant Chouhan, Head Equity Research, Kotak Securities, said, “The benchmark indices registered a fresh all-time high of 23754.15/78164.71. Technically, after a strong opening the market held the positive momentum throughout the day.”

“A bullish candle on daily charts and higher bottom formation on intraday charts indicate continuation of uptrend wave in the near future. For the trend following traders now, 23600/77500 would act as a trend decider level. As long as the index is trading above the same, positive sentiment is likely to continue. On the higher side, 23835-23900/78500-78700 would be the immediate resistance zones for the bulls. However, below 23600/77500 uptrend would be vulnerable. Below the same, trades may prefer to exit out from the trading long positions,” Chouhan added.
