Bulls had a grand return as the benchmark index clocked a 2.5 percent rally on August 30 following a gap-down closing in the previous session. The rally took the index above the recent consolidation, sending the 50-day exponential moving average (EMA) above 200 daily moving average (DMA).
The relative strength index (RSI) is on the verge of a bullish crossover and is likely to enter the zone of 60, which will confirm the strength in the current momentum. The trend looks positive after the massive movement on August 30. Markets were closed on August 31 on account of Ganesh Chaturthi.
Over the short term, the index may move towards 18,000-18,100. On the lower end, support is visible at 17,500. The negative sentiment in the global market had minimal impact on the Indian markets, which clearly indicates strength.
