Nifty 50, Sensex today: What to expect from Indian stock market in trade on July 9

The Indian stock market benchmark indices, Sensex and Nifty 50, are likely to open on a muted note Tuesday amid positive cues from global peers.

The trends on Gift Nifty also indicate a flat start for the Indian benchmark index. The Gift Nifty was trading around 24,385 level, a premium of just 5 points from the Nifty futures’ previous close.

On Monday, the domestic equity indices ended rangebound session flat amid lack of major triggers, with the Nifty 50 holding above 24,300 level.

The Sensex eased 36.22 points to close at 79,960.38, while the Nifty 50 settled 3.30 points, or 0.01%, lower at 24,320.55.

Nifty 50 formed a small body candle on the daily chart with minor lower shadow.

“Technically, this market action looks like a doji type candle formation (not a classical one). But, having formed this pattern beside the long bull candle of Friday signals sideways range movement in the market. The minor degree bullish pattern like higher highs and higher lows is visible on the daily chart. Having shown a minor dip at 24,168 levels on Friday, the chances of further upmove towards a new higher high is likely in the near term,” said Nagaraj Shetti, Senior Technical Research Analyst at HDFC Securities.

He believes the short term trend of Nifty continues to be positive and there is a possibility of continuation of this range movement for the next 1 or 2 sessions before witnessing further upmove above 24,400 levels. 

According to him, a sustainable move above the key hurdle of 24,400 levels could open a sharp upmove for the market ahead.
