POST-MARKET SUMMARY 31 October 2023

On October 31, the Indian benchmark indices snapped their two-day gaining streak as they closed lower in a volatile trading session. The Nifty fell below 19,100 points due to selling across various sectors amid weak Asian markets. The downturn was primarily driven by selling in banking, auto, and IT stocks. Despite India's ability to maintain strong economic growth in the face of global challenges, persistent FII selling has led to a decline in local markets over the past month.

NIFTY:  The index opened 92 points higher at 19,232 and made a high of 19,233 before closing at 19,079. Nifty has formed a Bearish Belt Hold pattern at the pullback levels, indicating the possibility of a further downside. Its immediate resistance level is now placed at 19,150 while immediate support is at 19,000.

BANK NIFTY: The index opened 317 points higher at 43,356 and closed at 42,845. Bank Nifty has formed a long Bearish Belt Hold candlestick pattern on the daily scale. Its immediate resistance level is now placed at 43,100 while support is at 42,600.
