The domestic frontline indices extended gains and ended higher on December 26, with the Nifty 50 breaking out of the recent 21,232-21,391 trading range.
The Sensex gained 229.84 points to close at 71,336.80, while the Nifty 50 settled 91.95 points, or 0.43%, higher at 21,441.35.
“The short-term trend nevertheless remains down. Momentum readings like the 14-day RSI too remain in decline mode (though they have bounced back recently) after declining sharply from overbought levels last Wednesday. This calls for caution in the near term,” said Subash Gangadharan, Senior Technical and Derivative Analyst, HDFC Securities.

Nifty 50 Predictions
Nifty 50 mostly traded sideways on December 27 after an initially positive start.
“The sentiment remains optimistic as the index stays above critical moving averages. At 21,500, there could be significant immediate resistance. A decisive breakout beyond this level could potentially propel the index into a substantial rally,” said Rupak De, Senior Technical Analyst at LKP Securities.
Until then, he expects the index to remain within the range of 21,300 and 21,500.

Bank Nifty Predictions
The Bank Nifty index rose 233 points to close at 47,725 on December 26.
“The Bank Nifty sentiment has again turned positive as the index moves back above 47,500. A small green bodied candle within the previous red candle indicates a potential bullish trend ahead. Support is established at 47,500 while resistance is observed at 48,000/48,250 on the higher side,” said De.
