Nifty50 Closes Above 19,800, Broad-based Rally Continues

The Nifty50 index closed above the 19,800 level on Friday, its highest level since July 2022. The index gained 1.96% to close at 19,825.05. The broader market also rose, with the BSE Midcap and Smallcap indices rising 1.45% and 1.91%, respectively.

The rally was broad-based, with all 15 sectors ending in the green. The market was supported by strong buying in heavyweights such as Reliance Industries, Infosys, and HDFC Bank.

The rally was also driven by positive global cues. US stocks closed higher on Thursday, boosted by strong earnings from major companies. Asian markets were also trading higher on Friday morning.

Technically, the Nifty is now eyeing the 20,000 milestone. The index has been consolidating in a range between 19,500 and 20,000 for the past few weeks. A break above 20,000 would confirm the start of a new uptrend.

However, investors should not become complacent and wait for dips to initiate fresh longs. The immediate support for the index is 19,700, followed by 19,600-19,500.
