“The global markets experienced a relief rally following the US election results, reducing political uncertainty with Trump securing a strong mandate. This has led to strong risk-on sentiments, driven by expectations of tax cuts and increased government spending,” Vinod Nair, head of research at Geojit Financial Services, said.

Hrishikesh Yedve, AVP of technical and derivatives research at Asit C. Mehta Investment Intermediates, opined that the bull run might indicate a drop in market volatility experienced in the Indian markets of late. It is important to note that despite today’s rally, Sensex has declined 0.83% in the past month. 

“Technically, the Nifty formed a piercing line candle on the daily chart around the 150-Days exponential moving average (DEMA) support, indicating strength. According to the piercing line candlestick pattern, if the index crosses 24,320, the short-term pullback rally may extend to 24,500-24,600 levels. The short-term trend is down, but as long as 23,890 support holds, a relief rally may be feasible,” he said.
