Nifty 50 Weekly Analysis: Breaks Above Major Resistance as Bullish Momentum Builds
Nifty 50 has delivered a strong bullish week, and the latest price action has improved the market structure across the daily, weekly and monthly timeframes. The index has crossed and closed above a major previous high formed in August, reclaimed its 50-week EMA, and moved above the 200-day EMA.
This is an important development after the recovery we have been tracking over the past few weeks. However, after such a sharp move, the market may need some time to consolidate. We could see sideways movement or profit booking in the coming week.
That would not necessarily be a bearish signal. The more important question is whether Nifty can hold its newly reclaimed support levels and continue forming a sequence of higher highs and higher lows.
Let’s look at how our previous analysis has played out before examining the latest Nifty 50 charts.
What Happened to Our Previous Week’s Nifty 50 Analysis?
In our previous weekly analysis, we were closely tracking the recovery in Nifty and the possibility of a broader trend reversal. Three developments were particularly important to our outlook:
- The weekly Morning Star formation: We had discussed the significance of this bullish reversal pattern on the weekly chart and why it was worth monitoring.
- The 50-week EMA: Reclaiming this moving average was an important condition for improving the weekly structure.
- The monthly red mother candle: We had been tracking the large red monthly candle for several months, with its upper boundary acting as an important resistance area.
The latest price action has provided encouraging developments on all three fronts.
Nifty has reclaimed its 50-week EMA and delivered a strong bullish weekly candle. The recovery following the Morning Star formation has become more evident, supporting the bullish significance we had discussed earlier.
On the daily chart, the index has also crossed and closed above the major August swing high near 24,774. This is an important improvement in the short-term market structure.
Meanwhile, on the monthly chart, Nifty has reached the upper boundary of the large red mother candle that we have been monitoring.
In other words, the recovery we had been tracking over the previous weeks has now reached an important technical stage. The next challenge is to sustain these breakouts and confirm whether the weekly and monthly structures can turn decisively bullish.
Nifty 50 Daily Chart: Break Above the August Swing High
The daily chart shows a significant improvement in Nifty’s price structure.
The index has crossed and closed above the major previous high formed in August, around 24,774. This level had acted as an important resistance, and the latest close near 24,986 puts Nifty 50 above it.
The move has also taken the index above its 200-day EMA, currently around 23,925. This is another positive development, particularly after the recent recovery from the major support zone.
The next important levels to watch are:
- 24,774: The previous swing high that Nifty has now crossed. Holding above this level would strengthen the breakout.
- 24,296: The gap-support zone, which could become relevant if the index sees profit booking.
- 23,925: The 200-day EMA, which provides another important support reference.
After a strong rally, some profit booking or sideways movement would be normal. If Nifty pulls back towards the gap-support zone or the 200-day EMA, we will watch how price behaves around those levels.
It is important not to interpret every pullback as a bearish setup. The probability of recovery remains higher as long as the index respects its reclaimed support structure and continues to show positive price action.
The daily Dow Theory structure has already shifted towards a bullish trend, with the formation of higher highs and higher lows. The coming sessions will tell us whether this structure can sustain itself.
Nifty 50 Weekly Chart: Reclaims the 50-Week EMA
The weekly chart has also delivered an important bullish signal.
Nifty has reclaimed its 50-week EMA, currently around 23,992, during the latest rally. It has also moved above the previous major high near 24,774, closing the week around 24,986.
This is particularly encouraging because the index had been struggling to establish a sustained recovery in the previous weeks.
We have been discussing the bullish significance of the Morning Star formation on the weekly timeframe. The recovery that followed shows why that pattern was worth monitoring. The latest rally has further strengthened the positive setup.
However, we are still watching the development of a bullish Dow Theory trend on the weekly timeframe.
The daily chart has already shifted to a bullish Dow Theory structure. On the weekly chart, Nifty has made a new swing high, but the next step is to sustain the formation of higher lows followed by higher highs. That would provide stronger confirmation of a broader weekly trend reversal.
Important weekly support levels
- 23,992 – 50-week EMA: The first important support reference if Nifty sees profit booking.
- 23,207: The low of the latest large bullish weekly candle. This is an important level to monitor for the strength of the current move.
- 22,423 – 200-week EMA: A deeper moving-average support reference.
- 22,182: The major support zone marked on the chart.
After a large bullish weekly candle, Nifty may pause or retrace. A controlled pullback towards the 50-week EMA would not, by itself, damage the bullish outlook. We would prefer to see the index hold its important support levels and continue building a higher-low structure.
The low of the latest large green candle, around 23,207, is also worth keeping on the radar. A decisive move below it would warrant closer attention to the strength of the breakout.
Nifty 50 Monthly Chart: Testing the Top of the Big Red Mother Candle
The monthly chart is where the longer-term setup becomes particularly interesting.
For the past few months, we have been tracking the large red mother candle and discussing the possibility of Nifty eventually recovering towards its upper boundary.
The index has now reached the top of that candle, with the latest price around 24,986.
This brings us to an important question: Is Nifty preparing for a breakout above the big red mother candle?
A sustained move above this boundary, preferably confirmed by a monthly close, would be a significant development. It could open the way for Nifty to challenge its previous all-time high.
However, we should not consider the breakout confirmed simply because the index has reached the upper boundary. The monthly close will be important.
The monthly 50 EMA, currently around 22,207, continues to act as a major long-term support reference. Nifty has recovered considerably from that area, and the broader monthly structure has improved.
For now, the focus is on whether Nifty can close convincingly above the mother candle’s high and sustain the breakout.
What Should We Watch in the Coming Week?
The latest rally has improved the technical picture, but the pace of the move also means that some consolidation would not be surprising.
Here are the key developments we will be monitoring:
- Sustainability above 24,774: Nifty has closed above the major August high. Holding above this level would help strengthen the breakout.
- Gap support near 24,296: If profit booking emerges, this is one of the first important support zones to watch.
- The 200-day EMA near 23,925: A deeper correction could bring this moving average into focus.
- The 50-week EMA near 23,992: This remains an important weekly support reference.
- The 23,207 weekly candle low: A move below this level would weaken the immediate bullish setup and require a fresh assessment.
- Monthly close above the mother candle: A convincing monthly close above the upper boundary would provide stronger confirmation of the longer-term breakout.
The latest weekly rally has also come alongside net buying by FIIs last week, as noted in the market data. This is an encouraging supporting factor, although institutional flows can change and should not be treated as a standalone signal.
Our View on Nifty 50
Nifty 50 has made a strong recovery, and the latest close above the August swing high is an important development.
The daily chart has shifted to a bullish Dow Theory structure, while the weekly chart is showing signs of a potential trend change. The index has also reclaimed its 50-week EMA and moved above the 200-day EMA.
On the monthly chart, Nifty has reached the top of the large red mother candle that we have been tracking for several months. A convincing monthly close above this level could set up a move towards the previous all-time high.
That said, we should not expect the market to move higher in a straight line. After a sharp bullish week, sideways action or profit booking is possible. If that happens, the gap-support zone and the 200-day EMA will be important levels to monitor.
Our broader bias remains positive as long as Nifty respects its important support structure. We will be watching whether the index can sustain the breakout and continue forming higher highs and higher lows across the relevant timeframes.
The monthly mother-candle breakout is the next major development on our radar.
