Nifty Smallcap 50
%

India's benchmark indices settled at fresh highs for second day in a row on Monday as HDFC Bank Ltd, Reliance Industries Ltd, and Infosys gained. 

The NSE Nifty 50 ended 0.93% or 215.90 points higher at 22,110.45, while the S&P BSE Sensex settled 1.05% or 759.49 at 73,327.94.

The Nifty 50 index touched a record high of 22,115.55, and Sensex rose to a fresh high of 73,402.16.

"We are of the view that, the larger texture of the market is still in to the positive side but due to temporary overbought conditions we could see range bound activity in the near future. For the traders, 22000-21950/73000-72800 would be the key supports levels while 22150-22225/73500-73800 could act as a key resistance zones. . However, below 21950/72800, uptrend would be vulnerable Buying on intraday corrections and sell on rallies would be the ideal strategy for the day traders," said Shrikant Chouhan, head, equity research, Kotak Securities.

"The IT sector has led the Nifty rally this month and has spiked significantly in the last two trading sessions because of decent results backed by cheaper valuations. However, the recent upswing warrants a certain degree of caution as, many times, such sharp rallies do not sustain. Thus, we believe that the near-term view will be cautious and suggest profit booking in areas of exuberance, especially in the small-cap space," said Pranav Haridasan, MD and CEO at Axis Securities
