Indian stock market: On Tuesday, the key indices - Sensex and the Nifty 50, ended the day flat. The Sensex began at 82,652.69, compared to the previous close of 82,559.84. It fluctuated within a narrow range of approximately 274 points and ultimately closed 4 points lower at 82,555.44.

“The Nifty started the day with a gap-up but was unable to sustain higher levels, resulting in profit booking. However, despite this profit-taking, the index managed to close the day on a flat note at 25,280 levels. Technically, on the daily chart, the index formed a small red candle but is still holding well above the breakout of a rounding bottom pattern, indicating strength. On the downside, the 9-Day Exponential Moving Average (DEMA) and the recent breakout point of the rounding bottom pattern are positioned near 25,070. Thus, any dip around 25,070 should be used to buy Nifty. On the upside, the index may test levels of 25,500-25,600 in the near future," said Hrishikesh Yedve, AVP Technical and Derivatives Research at Asit C. Mehta Investment Intermediates Ltd.

Bank Nifty

On the Bank Nifty outlook, Yedve added, "The Bank Nifty began the day on a strong note but encountered profit booking in the first half. However, the index witnessed strong buying interest in the second half and settled the day positively at 51,689 levels. Technically, on the daily chart, the index formed a green candle with a long lower shadow, indicating strength. On the downside, the 21-Day Exponential Moving Average (DEMA) is near 51,060 levels. As long as the index remains above 51,060, a 'buy on dips' strategy is recommended. On the upside, the Banknifty might attempt to test the levels of 52000, which correspond to the double bottom pattern target.”
