Ahead of Market: 10 things that will decide stock action on Tuesday

Benchmark Nifty50 recorded its best day in three weeks on Monday, breaking a five-session losing streak as strong earnings from ICICI Bank and other lenders boosted banking stocks.

The NSE Nifty50 gained 0.65% to close at 24,339, while the BSE Sensex advanced 0.76% to end at 80,005.

Here’s how analysts read the market pulse:

“On the daily charts, we can observe that the Nifty has found buying interest from the support zone of 24000 – 24090 where the daily lower Bollinger band is placed. The hourly momentum indicator has triggered a positive crossover and there is a high probability that the counter-trend pullback rally which started today can continue over the next few trading sessions till 24,900 – 24,930 where the key daily moving averages are placed,” said Jatin Gedia of Sharekhan.

Tejas Shah of JM Financial & BlinkX, said, “As long as Nifty is holding above 24 K, the present pullback rally which started recently is likely to continue. All pullback rallies towards 24,500 / 24,750 are likely to find selling pressure. Support for Nifty is now seen at 24,200 and 24,000. On the higher side, the immediate resistance zone for Nifty is at 24,450-500 levels and the next crucial resistance zone is at 24,700-750 levels.”
