During March 2022, benchmarks rebounded from the vicinity of lower band of this channel coinciding with 52 week’s EMA, signifying a pause in downward momentum, ICICI Securities highlighted.
As envisaged in its Technical Strategy for April 2022, the broader market indices maintained the rhythm of arresting secondary correction within 20% and 30%, respectively, within the framework of a structural bull market. “Going ahead, we expect broader markets to resolve out of base formation and witness catch up activity with its large cap peers."
