Indian stock market benchmark indices, Sensex and Nifty 50, are expected to open lower on Thursday following weak cues from Asian markets.
The trends on Gift Nifty also indicate a negative start for the Indian benchmark index. The Gift Nifty was trading around 23,800 level, a discount of nearly 70 points from the Nifty futures’ previous close.
On Wednesday, the domestic equity benchmark indices ended at record closing highs, with the Nifty 50 settling above 23,850 for the first time ever.
The Sensex jumped 620.73 points to close at 78,674.25, while the Nifty 50 ended 147.50 points, or 0.62%, higher at 23,868.80.
Nifty 50 formed a long bull candle on the daily chart, which is back-to-back similar candles in three sessions.
“Technically, this pattern indicates a formation of bullish ‘three advancing soldiers" type candle pattern. This formation signals upside continuation for the short term. After moving into a range bound action in the mid part of June month, Nifty is now witnessing a decisive upside breakout of the said range movement," said Nagaraj Shetti, Senior Technical Research Analyst at HDFC Securities.
According to him, the present upside momentum could find resistance at the highs of around 24,000 - 24,100 levels (1.786% Fibonacci extension of crucial bottom/top/bottom of 2020-2022) and one may expect next round of consolidation or minor weakness to emerge from the highs.

Nifty 50 Prediction
Nifty 50 index continued its upside momentum for the third consecutive session on June 26 and closed the day higher by 147 points.

Bank Nifty Prediction
Bank Nifty index touched its record high level on Wednesday and ended the session 265 points higher at 52,870.
“The Bank Nifty index continued its strong momentum, just shy of the 53,000 mark where fresh call writing is visible. The undertone remains bullish, and a buy-on-dip approach is advisable with immediate strong support at the 52,500 - 52,400 level," said Kunal Shah, Senior Technical & Derivative Analyst at LKP Securities.
The index has witnessed aggressive put writing at lower levels, indicating strong support, Shah added.
According to Ambala, Nifty Bank could gain support between 52,500 and 52,350 and experience resistance at 53,150 and 53,400.
“I would advise adopting a neutral stance, hedging positions, and seeking dips to capitalize on swing trading opportunities. Future traders can maintain long positions in discounted stocks in the current market conditions," Ambala said.
