“Expectations of a stimulus coupled with the capital support to state-run banks fuelled the rally in late afternoon trade. The postponement of the SC verdict by a couple of days provided a breather to the bulls as large-caps led the charge,” said S Ranganathan, Head of Research at LKP Securities.

The Reserve Bank of India rescheduled the Monetary Policy Committee (MPC) meeting and is to announce the new dates shortly.

The six-member MPC was expected to announce its policy decision on October 1 after meeting for three days beginning September 29.

Most analysts and economists were of the view that the central bank would have gone for a status quo, with no significant impact on the mood of the market.

Experts share their views on what investors should do on September 29:

The rebound in global indices, combined with the hopes of a possible stimulus package, is helping markets to recover.

Easing of restrictions for tourism, education, hotels and the leisure segment, including cinema halls, under Unlock  5.0 will improve demand and investor sentiment.

Having said that, traders should not go overboard and see how the Nifty index behaves around the critical hurdle of 11,300.

We advise booking partial profit in trading positions around that zone and wait for more clarity.

Nagaraj Shetti, Technical Research Analyst, HDFC Securities

The Nifty formed a long bull candle with an upside gap opening and the said up-gap remains unfilled. This is a positive indication and if this gap remains unfilled for the next two-three sessions, it could mean more upside for the near term.

The Nifty is placed at the minor trendline resistance at around 11,250 and this hurdle is expected to be broken on the upside in the next session. After this hurdle, one may expect 11,350-11,400 as crucial overhead resistance for the near term.

The short-term trend continues to be positive. There is a possibility of some more upside or range-bound movement in the next few sessions.

The upside bounce could stretch up to a maximum of 11,400-11,500 this or by next week before showing the next round of weakness from the highs. The immediate support is now placed at 11,050.

Based on sectoral performance, we may even see the Nifty index approaching the resistance level of 50 days SMA at 11,300.
