Nifty closed in positive territory on all four sessions of the last week. It made a new high on Friday and closed in the top quartile of the day’s range. Friday’s gain was led by Nifty Bank (+2%). Also, Nifty Metal (+1.2%), Pharma (+1.2%), and FMCG (+1.4%) pushed Nifty higher. Nifty Midcap and Smallcap indices took a breather and underperformed the benchmark indices. Nifty is trading 3.5% and 9.5% above its 21- and 50-DMA, respectively. On the sectoral front, Nifty PSU Bank, Realty, and Metal closed 8–9% higher for the week. Nifty Auto, Energy, and Pharma closed 4–5% higher, while Nifty IT and FMCG also gained 2.5% and 2.0%, respectively.
We maintain a positive view of the overall market as indices trend into new highs with low distribution day count. Further, leadership remains widespread across multiple sectors. We continue to recommend a selective approach to increasing risk. Focus on high-quality ideas emerging from sound bases with an RS line at or near a new high. After a strong rally, pullback/consolidation (if any) is a constructive sign if Nifty holds its short-term moving averages. On the flip side, tracking distribution days is crucial. Accumulation of distribution days can be a sign of market top and halt the uptrend.
