Market Outlook for July 4

Aditya Gaggar’s Insight

Aditya Gaggar, Director of Progressive Shares, noted that despite the strong start, the market lacked follow-through momentum and settled within a range. He observed a Dragonfly Doji candlestick pattern, which could indicate a pause or consolidation. Gaggar suggests that a drop below 24,200 might pull the index towards 24,130.

Rupak De’s Analysis

Rupak De, Senior Technical Analyst at LKP Securities, emphasized that the bulls have regained control, pushing the index above 24,300. He expects the trend to remain strong as long as the index stays above 24,000, with potential movement towards 24,500. However, falling below 24,000 could lead to consolidation.

Conclusion

The stock market showed robust performance on July 3, with key indices hitting record highs. Most sectors saw gains, and midcap and smallcap stocks performed well. Looking ahead, market experts predict continued strength but caution about possible consolidation.
