On February 2, the market saw robust gains following a muted reaction to the Interim Budget in the previous session. Nifty reached a new high of 22,126.80, and the Sensex surged by over 1,400 points. Propelled by positive global cues, the market opened higher and continued its upward trajectory throughout the day. However, profit-booking at elevated levels led to a partial retracement of the gains. Among sectors, the oil & gas index recorded a 4% increase, while the information technology, metal, realty, and power indices witnessed gains of up to 2% each. Conversely, the banking index experienced a 0.5% decline.
NIFTY: The index opened 115 points higher at 21,812 and made a high of 22,126 before closing at 21,853. Nifty has formed a small small-bodied bullish candlestick with a long upper shadow on the daily chart. Its immediate resistance level is now placed at 21,910 while immediate support is at 21,730.
BANK NIFTY: The index opened 380 points higher at 46,568 and closed at 45,970. Bank Nifty has formed a bearish candlestick on the daily chart. Its immediate resistance level is now placed at 46,350 while support is at 45,660.
