Ahead of the market: 10 things that will determine stock market action on Friday

The S&P BSE Sensex rose 110.87 points or 0.13% to settle at 85,720.38 after touching an intraday high of 86,055.86, while the NSE Nifty 50 rose 10.25 points or 0.04% to close at a session high of 25,12,500. 26,310.45.

Here’s how analysts read the pulse of the market:

Indian markets stabilized after a volatile session where both Nifty and Sensex briefly touched record highs before profit booking began, said Vinod Nair, head of research at Geojit Investments, adding that retailers emerged as primary investors throughout the year.

“However, the overall market performance fell short of expectations, prompting a bearish turn towards the end of the year. Market participants are now keenly watching tomorrow’s GDP print along with key events like the US-India deal and the RBI policy meeting. These factors will play a crucial role in determining the near-term direction for equities,” Na said.

Tech View
The Nifty remained sideways after a positive start, ended the day almost unchanged and on the day, the index hit a new all-time high after 14 months, but the breakout was muted, and the index moved sideways, said Rupak De, senior technical analyst at LKP Securities. average

“The RSI is in a bullish crossover, and the high-top, high-bottom structure appears intact, confirming the ascending chart pattern. At the lower end, support is placed at 26,000; unless this level is breached, the index may move towards 26,440/26,580. A buy-on-dips would be a better contrarian as the expected near-term strategy.” Sharp up-move,” Dee said.
