The market stayed strong throughout the session and settled with three-digit gains on July 13, as there was buying interest in banking & financials, select metals, pharma, and auto stocks.

The BSE Sensex rallied 397.04 points to 52,769.73, while the Nifty50 jumped 119.80 points to 15,812.40 and formed Doji kind of pattern on the daily charts as the closing was near its opening levels.

“A small body of positive candle was formed on Tuesday with long lower shadow and with unfilled opening upside gap. The negative implication of sell on intraday rise of Monday was nullified and Nifty closed higher on Tuesday,” Nagaraj Shetti, Technical Research Analyst at HDFC Securities.

He said the crucial intraday resistance of 15,800 has been broken on the upside and the Nifty closed just above it, as per day’s close. This is positive indication and signal more upside in the short term, he feels.

According to him, the Nifty is expected to revisit key overhead resistance of 15,900-15,915 levels of larger high low range in the next 1-2 sessions. Immediate support is placed at 15,710 levels, he said.

The broader markets also closed in the green. The Nifty Midcap 100 index gained 0.21 percent and Smallcap 100 index rose 1.03 percent.
