Meanwhile, Tuesday’s trade can see some impact as India’s retail inflation accelerated to a 9-month high of 5.49% on an annual basis in September, driven by a persistent rise in vegetable prices and a lower year-ago base. This is higher than the 5-year low of 3.65% registered in the previous month and marks the first time since July that it has exceeded the Reserve Bank of India’s (RBI) 4% medium-term target.
Here’s how analysts read the market pulse:
“On the daily charts, we can observe that the Nifty has resumed its upmove towards 25500 after a brief three-day consolidation. Hourly momentum indicator has a positive crossover which is a buy signal. Thus, we expect the positive momentum to continue over the next few trading sessions towards 25234 – 25360. Support base shifts higher towards 24920,” said Jatin Gedia of Sharekhan.Tejas Shah of JM Financial & BlinkX, said, “The candlestick pattern formed on the daily chart is an encouraging one. On the higher side, the 25,250 – 25,300 zone remains important as a barrier and the market needs to cross this on a closing basis for any major strength in Nifty. Support for Nifty is now seen at 25,000 and 24,750-800. On the higher side, immediate resistance for Nifty is at 25,150 levels and the next crucial resistance zone is at 25,250-300 levels.”That said, here’s a look at what some key indicators are suggesting for Tuesday’s action:
