Indian stock market indices are likely to open on a tepid note following mixed cues from global peers. The trends on Gift Nifty also indicate a tepid start for the Indian benchmark index. The Gift Nifty was trading flat at around 19,785 level as compared to the Nifty futures’ previous close of 19,768.
On Thursday, the benchmark equity indices extended rally for the fifth consecutive session to end over half a percent higher each. The Sensex jumped 385.04 points to 66,265.56, while the Nifty closed 116.00 points higher at 19,727.05. The Nifty formed a long bull candle on the daily chart that has surpassed the immediate resistance of 19,650 levels.
“The overall chart pattern is indicating a larger upside breakout of broader consolidation/triangle pattern of the last 5 weeks and this is opening a potential pattern upside target for Nifty around 20,000-20200 levels over the next couple of weeks," said Nagaraj Shetti, Technical Research Analyst, HDFC Securities. He believes any intra-week dips down to 19,550-19,600 levels could be a buy on dips opportunity.
