“The nifty rose for a second day yesterday following Wednesday’s hammer, but came off its session highs. The 23426 – 23471 remains a formidable upside hurdle for the benchmark, but the real action is occurring in the NSE mid- and smallcap indexes which significantly outperformed the nifty. The former traced an upside follow through candle yesterday while the latter generated a “bullish piercing line” formation. All the headline indices remain below the major daily moving averages – 50/100/200, so its important to tread with caution as the market starts to probe higher levels,” said Akshay Chinchalkar, Head of Research, Axis Securities.
