Let us take a quick glance at what happened on the Dalal Street today.

Stock investors became richer by Rs 1.5 lakh crore as Sensex recorded its eighth weekly gain, the longest since 2018. Sensex has also wiped off all losses incurred in Monday’s crash. Both Sensex and Nifty rose by a per cent each, led by gains in Reliance Industries and financials.

RIL advanced 2.6 per cent, while mortgage lender HDFC added 2.2 per cent and top private lender HDFC Bank rose 1.5 per cent.

Shares of Mrs Bectors Food Specialities, which got listed on the stock exchanges today, closed at Rs 595.55, implying a gain of nearly 107 per cent.

With exuberant markets, a question arises as to how much more steam is left in the rally? Will the IPO party continue to rock? To discuss this and more, we caught up with Mr Vinod Nair, head of research at Geojit Financial Services.

Welcome to the show, Mr Nair.

Technically, Nifty has formed an inside bar kind of candle pattern on the daily chart. The index has reached its upper band of resistance which was at 13,775. Going forward, if it manages to sustain above that level then the rally may continue, said analysts.

1)What does the Nifty chart tell you? How much more upside is left?

2)Where is Bank Nifty headed?
