What should traders do? Here’s what analysts said:

On the daily charts, we can observe that Nifty has broken above the previous swing high of 23,110 to suggest the start of the next leg of up move which can extend till 23,500-23,740 from a short-term perspective. The psychological level of 23,000 shall act as a key support from a short-term perspective. Daily and hourly momentum indicators have a positive crossover which is a buy signal. Thus, both price and momentum indicators suggest the continuation of the rally.

The sentiment remains highly dependent on the election results tomorrow. If the election results align with the exit poll or fall below the exit poll numbers, it might attract mild to heavy selling pressure in the overall market, including the Nifty space. However, if the results are better than expected—meaning if the NDA secures significantly more seats than the average exit poll numbers—then the Nifty might embrace another round of buoyant movement.

If Nifty breaks 23,300 level and sustains, it can further rise to 23,700 and 24,000 levels in the coming days. On the downside, 22,900 and 22,800 will act as immediate support levels. For the Bank Nifty, if the price sustains above the 51,000 level, it could further rise to 52,000 and 52,700 levels. On the downside, 50,400 and 50,000 will act as immediate support levels.
