POST-MARKET SUMMARY 18 July 2023
On July 18, the Nifty extended its upward trend for the fourth successive session, surpassing the 19,800 milestone for the first time. This remarkable rally was primarily supported by IT stocks and heavyweight Reliance Industries. Although global cues were a bit mixed, the market opened on a strong note, hitting new record levels. However, during the second half of the day, profit-booking activities resulted in the erasure of a significant portion of the gains made intraday.
NIFTY: The index opened 76 points higher at 19,787 and made a high of 19,819 before closing at 19,749. Although the Nifty has formed a bearish candlestick pattern on the daily chart, it has continued to make higher highs and higher lows formation for four days in a row. Its immediate resistance level is now placed at 19,900 while immediate support is at 19,500.
BANK NIFTY: The index opened 305 points higher at 45,754 and closed at 45,410. Bank Nifty continued to make higher highs and higher lows formation for yet another session. Its immediate resistance level is now placed at 46,000 while support is at 45,000.
