Weekly Update – 19th May 2023

NIFTY50

The Nifty 50 ended this week at 18203, moving 0.6% lower than the previous week. The Nifty 50 began the week on an optimistic note closing at 18398, higher than the highest closing level of the last week. However, the next three days saw the fall sharply with some relief on Friday as it closed higher than the previous day.

The current downward move of the Nifty 50 can be seen as part of the larger uptrend where the index has been forming higher tops and higher bottoms since the end of March. The Nifty is still bullish on both the short term as well as long term trends.

The next week will define whether the corrective phase is completed or not. Any further correction next week would be a continuation of the current downward move. However, there is a chance that the Nifty may move higher through the next week indicating the beginning of the next upward leg of the bull rally.

This week, the Bank Nifty touched its all-time high of 44151.70 and closed the week slightly lower at 43969, closing 0.4% higher than the previous week. The Bank Nifty is firmly in an uptrend and hasn’t seen any major correction since it began an upward journey from the previous bottom made on March 15 at 38650.

The next week will decide whether the Bank Nifty is able to continue the uptrend further and make new all-time highs or if there would be a correction, which is technically expected after an upward movement of nearly 5000 points.
