POST-MARKET SUMMARY 4th April 2024
On April 4, the Indian benchmark indices surged to all-time highs, but erased some of the gains before ultimately closing positively in a volatile trading session. This occurred just a day before the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) was set to announce its policy. The market opened with a gap-up, with the Sensex reaching 74,501.73 and the Nifty at 22,619, both record levels. However, these gains were quickly reversed in the early hours, leading to fluctuations between gains and losses throughout the day. Notably, sectors such as banking, power, and information technology saw gains of around 0.5-1%, while the PSU bank and oil & gas indices experienced declines of 0.7-1.6%.
NIFTY: The index opened 158 points higher at 22,592 and made a high of 22,619 before closing at 22,514. Nifty has formed a small bearish candlestick with a long lower shadow on the daily chart. Its immediate resistance level is now placed at 22,580 while immediate support is at 22,450.
BANK NIFTY: The index opened 462 points higher at 48,086 and closed at 48,060. Bank Nifty has formed a Doji pattern on the daily chart. Its immediate resistance level is now placed at 48,250 while support is at 47,900.
