Indian stock market: On June 3, Sensex and Nifty 50 experienced notable gains not witnessed since January 2021. Investors displayed widespread buying activity across various sectors, departing from the cautious trading seen in the previous month. This surge in market momentum followed exit polls suggesting that the Lok Sabha election results might align with market projections, thereby bolstering investor confidence.
Both indices reached new all-time highs, surging nearly 4 per cent each during the session. Both indexes closed at record highs, marking more than 3 per cent gains each.

“Nifty index started the day with the highest gap of around 800 points in the last four years. It touched a fresh all-time high of 23338 in its opening tick and remained positive to range bound for the rest of the session. It formed a small-bodied candle on the daily frame with a longer lower shadow, indicating swift buying at any small declines. It closed with gains of around 730 points and negated its lower highs formation of the last four sessions. Now, it has to hold above 23110 zones for an upside move towards 23500, then 23700 zones. In contrast, supports are placed at 23000 then 22795 zones,” said Chandan Taparia, Head – Equity Derivatives and Technicals, Broking and Distribution, MOFSL.
India’s VIX crashed by 14.87% from 24.60 to 20.94 levels. Volatility cooled down to 19 zones and comforted the bulls to ride the index at lifetime high levels.
On the option front, the Weekly Maximum Call OI is at 24000, then 23500 strike, while the Maximum Put OI is at 22500, then 23000 strike. Minor Call writing is seen at 23500, then 23700 strikes, while minor Put writing is seen at 23200, then 23000. Options data suggests a broader trading range between 22800 and 24000 zones and an immediate range between 22900 and 23600 levels.
Bank Nifty
The Nifty Bank saw a 4.07 per cent surge, with the Financial Services index and the Private Bank index both experiencing jumps of 4.04 per cent and 3.34 per cent, respectively.
“Bank Nifty Index opened with a massive gap of more than 1900 points at a new lifetime high near 50900 zones. However, it remained consolidative in a wider range of 500 points in the initial hour of the session, but buying momentum was seen again in the latter part of the day to hit yet another fresh lifetime high of 51133 marks. It formed a small-bodied bullish candle with a long lower shadow on the daily scale as if it were a good buy, as seen in the last hour of the day. Now it has to continue to hold above 50500 zones for a new all-time high of 51500 then 52500 zones while on the downside support is seen at 50500 then 50000 levels,” Taparia added.
