Banking and financial stocks constitute nearly 40 percent of the index weight; hence, any big move in shares like SBI, ICICI Bank, HDFC Bank will support the rally. Among the Sensex names, SBI and PNB hit their respective 52-week highs.

Currently, Nifty is moving higher with a decent addition in the open interest which suggests strength in the current trend as option writers were active in the recent rally, suggest experts.

“On the technical front, 10150-10100 spot levels are strong support zone and the current trend is likely to continue towards 10,275-10,300 in the coming sessions,” he said.
