Crude oil prices fell sharply after the OPEC+ bloc of major petroleum exporting nations announced plans to gradually ease voluntary production cuts.
Taking cues from global markets, the Nifty 50 started the trading session on 6 March with a gap-up opening at 22,476 points. After that, it tested 22,250 and continued its bullish momentum from the previous day's session to close near the day’s high at 22,544. As a result, the Nifty 50 formed a bullish candle with a long lower wick on the daily chart.
Among major sectoral indices, barring the Nifty Realty index, all others closed higher. The market breadth remained positive, with an impressive advance-decline ratio of 3:1, reflecting strong buying interest across the board. From a technical perspective, the Nifty 50 closed above 22,500, which was a strong resistance area.
The 14-day relative strength index (RSI) bounced back from the oversold region and is trending upward, positioned around 41. Additionally, the moving average convergence divergence (MACD) indicator is trending negatively below the zero line.
