Domestic equity benchmarks have now been gaining for two consecutive trading sessions. S&P BSE Sensex sits at 48,944 points while the 50-stock NSE Nifty is at 14,653. On Wednesday morning, cues from global peers were mixed but technical analysts believe bulls are in control on Dalal Street at this juncture. Cases of coronavirus continue to surge in India but assurance of help from global strategic partners and reduction in cases in Mumbai seem to be aiding the positivity. SGX Nifty was trading flat with a negative bias on Wednesday morning, hinting at a muted start for equity markets.

Technical take: Nifty crossed the short-term resistance of 14,550 yesterday and broader markets participated in the up-move. This hints at bulls taking control on Dalal Street. “A long bull candle was formed, which signal an emergence of strong buying in the market,” said Nagaraj Shetti, Technical Research Analyst, HDFC Securities. With Nifty managing to hold above resistance levels and closing above the hurdle of the previous opening downside gap around 14600 levels, the index has shown strength. “This is a positive indication and signals more upside in the near term,” Shetti added.
Levels to watch out for: There is potential for upside in the near term. “Above 14550/48600 levels, we may see a pullback rally to continue up to 14700-14750/49100-49300. There is a possibility of a further upside that may continue to push the index upwards, till 14800/49800,” said Shrikant Chouhan, Executive Vice President (Equity Technical Research), Kotak Securities.
