The Nifty index opened at a Gap up of 56 points at 16, 661.25, led by the Financial (1.55%), Nifty Bank (1.49%), and Private Bank (1.43%) sectors. Moreover, during the trading session, it significantly increased in value. The Index was up 0.69% and closed at 16,719.45 (up by 114.20 points) on Friday, July 22, 2022.
With this bullish rally, the Nifty index broke its resistance level that was earlier set at 16,654. This was the third time in the week when this Indian stock market index broke the set resistance level, which enables a good upperside potential to it. The entire week was ‘green’ for the index and rightly proves that the upside conclusion that we provided earlier was indeed true. Here is a market roundup analysis provided for better understanding.

Exponential Moving Average (EMA)
The current nearest resistance level is set at 16,900, which if broken would make the market bullish. It is currently sustaining above all of its daily EMA metrics (20/50/100/200), indicating that the market futures seem optimistic. The nearest support is set at 16,655 currently, if this level is broken then would lead to a bearish session.
