Financial Year 2023 starts on a high note

It has been an action packed last one year but as they say all is well that ends well. Financial Year 2022 ended with whopping gains of around 19% and the commencement of the new Financial year has been on a high note.

During the previous week, the markets were trapped in a range of 17000 – 17500 and last week the benchmark index started with testing the lower levels on Monday. Very quickly the prices were away from the lower end and as the week progressed the northward journey continued. The real action was however seen on Friday with prices breaking above the hurdle of 17500 and hastening towards 17650 levels. The up move has been supported with broad based buying bringing smile for traders fraternity. Bank Nifty that was earlier struggling in the vicinity of 36800 – 37000 have quite easily broken above the same forming a clear Cup N Handle pattern. Going ahead, we now sense any dip towards 36800 – 37000 to now act as a buying opportunity and the positive momentum to continue in near term towards 38000 – 38500 in the short span. This is likely to be the catalyst to push Nifty towards 18000 mark. Traders are hence advised to remain buoyant and use any dips as a buying opportunity.
