Indian equity benchmarks soared to record closing highs on Monday, with the Nifty50 surpassing its lifetime high of October 2021. Gains in oil & gas, auto and select financial stocks drove the headline indices higher — a fifth back-to-back session of gains.
What do the charts suggest for Dalal Street?
The
Nifty50 has formed a long bull candle on the daily chart, reflecting market momentum, according to Nagaraj Shetti, Technical Research Analyst at HDFC Securities."The 50-scrip index appears to be nearing a new higher top of a higher-top-and-higher-bottom pattern. There is no indication of any reversal at the highs," he said.
Time to buy the dip in Nifty Bank
The Nifty Bank continues to be in a positive trend, according to Kunal Shah, Senior Technical Analyst at LKP Securities.
"The banking index is stuck in a range of 42,500-43,500 and a breakout on either side will lead to a directional move. The undertone remains bullish and one should have a buy-on-dip approach with immediate support at 42,800," he said.
Here are key things to know about the market ahead of the November 29 session:

What to expect on Dalal Street
HDFC Securities' Shetti believes the Nifty50 is in a sharp uptrend on the weekly chart.

Key levels to watch out for
The maximum call open interest is accumulated at the strike price of 19,000, with 1.6 lakh contracts, and the next highest at 18,800, with 1.3 lakh, according to provisional exchange data. The maximum put open interest is at 18,000, with 2.1 lakh contracts, and at 18,400, with 1.5 lakh.
