"Bank Nifty has also witnessed positive price action and is on the way to retest the recent swing high of 46,400. The index has been a laggard and hence a divergence is visible among the sectoral indices. Sooner rather than later it is likely to align with the Benchmark and we expect the positive price action to continue. Momentum indicators on the daily and hourly time frames are in sync with the price action and hence we are likely to a sustained upmove," said Jatin Gedia – Technical Research Analyst at Sharekhan by BNP Paribas.
"Bulls continue to lead the way as the benchmark index surged to a historic high, breaching the 20,000 mark for the very first time. Looking ahead, market sentiment is expected to remain upbeat as long as the Nifty stays above the 19,900 level. On the upside, we can identify an immediate resistance zone between 20,100 and 20,200. If there is a convincing breakthrough above 20,200, it could pave the way for the Nifty to advance towards the 20,500 mark," said Rupak De, Senior Technical analyst at LKP Securities.
"We have clearly outperformed our global peers by a fair margin and reaching this milestone on our own, displays the overall inherent strength. We continue to remain sanguine and expect the market to continue this northward move. However, one should avoid being complacent and adopt proper money management from here on," said Sameet Chavan, Head Research, Technical and Derivatives, Angel One.
"Bulls continue to lead the way as the benchmark index surged to a historic high, breaching the 20,000 mark for the very first time. This impressive rally followed a breakout from a descending channel that occurred last week. Looking ahead, market sentiment is expected to remain upbeat as long as the Nifty stays above the 19,900 level. On the upside, we can identify an immediate resistance zone between 20,100 and 20,200. If there is a convincing breakthrough above 20,200, it could pave the way for the Nifty to advance towards the 20,500 mark," said Rupak De, Senior Technical analyst at LKP Securities.

"We advise investors to keep an eye on large cap space as well as the risk-reward have become favourable for the IT sector and few heavyweights such as Reliance Industries, HDFC Bank and ITC. The overall texture of the market remains positive and we continue to advise buy on dips strategy for new entrants. As far as 21,000 levels on the index, we feel it would be premature to ride this kind of upside in the near-term and would revisit the markets at the end of the month," said Manish Chowdhury, Head of Research, StoxBox.
"What makes this rally even more stunning is the stellar performance of small and mid-cap stocks, which have outshone their larger counterparts by a huge distance, marking this rally one of the most robust seen in recent history. This rally may create even more milestones over the next few weeks before the market peaks out. Once the momentum gets exhausted and markets start plateauing, we would recommend investor caution as the current euphoria and valuations are unsustainable in the longer term," said Amit Goel, Co-Founder & Chief Global Strategist, Pace 360.
"Resounding success of G20 brings in the desired momentum and market valuations are yet to cross previous peaks. Boost in bilateral trades should benefit various segments like pipes and cables. Sectors like Railways, Shipping and Logistics would be direct beneficiaries of recent announcements.”

“Markets may see a mixed trend in early trades Monday as the Gift Nifty index has been displaying a fluctuating trend amid weak Asian cues. Already, benchmark indices have rallied for 6 consecutive trading sessions, hence caution may prevail amongst the investors in the backdrop of inflation fears, rising US Dollar, strength in oil prices, and spiking US treasury yields. With FIIs selling local shares worth Rs 9,097 crore in the last 5 trading sessions, investors could be feeling the heat as any extended offloading could dampen the sentiment going ahead,” said Prashanth Tapse, Senior VP (Research), Mehta Equities

"The next significant hurdle on the upside is situated at 45,500, where the highest open interest is concentrated. The index maintains a 'buy on dip' mode, with robust support seen at the 44,800 levels, underlining the bullish sentiment in the market," said Kunal Shah, Senior Technical & Derivative analyst at LKP Securities.
"Daily and hourly momentum indicators have a positive crossover which is a buy signal and thus this is likely to be only a consolidation and in case of a dip it should be used as a buying opportunity. On the upside we expect 19,900 which is around the swing high it touched during July. In terms of levels, 19,630 – 19,670 shall act as a crucial support zone while 19,860 – 19,900 shall act as an immediate hurdle zone." said Jatin Gedia – Technical Research Analyst at Sharekhan by BNP Paribas.
