Share Market Today - 21st May 2019

NIFTY Daily CHART : It was a historical session for the domestic markets since the benchmark indices posted one of the biggest single day gains of recent years. The markets started the session with a huge upside gap following the exit polls for election 2019 which indicated a clear majority for BJP led NDA. The index Nifty almost attempted for a new life high to close above 11800 mark with a massive gain of 421 points. Meanwhile, the Nifty Bank index surged more than 1300 points. It was a broad based buying since morning which resulted in one sided market breadth in the favor of advancing counters. On the sectoral front, all the group indices closed in positive terrain. With regards to gainers, NIFTY PSU BANK (+7.88%) and NIFTY REALTY (+5.72%) stocks were the biggest performers. From the F&O space, ADANIENT (+29.42%), RPOWER (+19.17%) and RELINFRA (+14.98%) were the leaders. MARKET OUTLOOK As shown on the daily chart, NIFTY is on the verge of a fresh breakout from its all-time high of 11856. Going ahead, a move above the same might extend the gains towards 12000 and above levels. Traders holding long positions in index futures are advised to revise their stop loss below 11580 (in spot). In case of any consolidation or profit booking, 11750 – 11690 levels might act as intermediate support where the buying could remerge. SBIN : WEEKLY CHART Outlook : Bullish Last week we recommended SBIN when it was trading near 315 mark. We also discussed about the conformation of ‘Symmetrical Triangle’ pattern on the weekly chart. In line with our view the stock has already reached near the given target of 350. However, at this juncture the stock is poised to clear all-time high. A close above 350 would open doors for 390. Thus, keep holding longs in SBIN with a revised stop 324.   Disclaimer)
