CapitalKeeper Takeaway – Mid-Morning Market Mood:
“The bulls are holding ground but lack momentum. Market participants are awaiting further cues from upcoming GDP data and global macro events. Nifty and Bank Nifty remain within tight ranges, suggesting traders should adopt a cautious approach with focus on high-RSI breakout stocks.”
Top Technical Picks from CapitalKeeper (10:30 AM):
- ICICI Bank – RSI 61, strong volume, bullish MACD crossover
- Infosys – RSI 54, price reversal from support, positive news flow
- Reliance Industries – MACD slope positive, consolidation breakout likely
- Maruti Suzuki – RSI above 60, breakout above ₹12,200 crucial
- Bajaj Finance – Sideways but holding key EMAs; RSI around 53
Short-Term Trading Tip by CapitalKeeper:
“Avoid aggressive longs until Nifty breaks above 22,850. Use pullbacks near support zones to accumulate fundamentally strong names with RSI above 55.”
Conclusion
Today’s index performance hinges on banking and tech heavyweights. Nifty needs participation from Reliance and IT majors to sustain its uptrend. Bank Nifty and Fin Nifty, on the other hand, show relative strength and can lead the rally if volumes support.
