Market Momentum Continues
Equity benchmarks rose over 1 percent on May 14, marking a second consecutive day of gains. While market breadth was neutral, analysts note that sustained upward movement above key short-term moving averages is needed to confirm a broader uptrend.

It trades above the 20-day Simple Moving Average (SMA), indicating a resumed upward trajectory. With the Relative Strength Index (RSI) above 66 and the MACD showing a green histogram, further upside potential is indicated. The target is set at ₹102 with a stop-loss at ₹88.
