It is worth noting that the stock market will be closed on Monday, 25/05/2020, due to the holiday for Eid. The market will reopen on Tuesday, 26/05/2020. Prior to this, the market experienced a range-bound trade with a negative bias, driven by a decline in the bank and NBFC sectors. Despite this, Nifty managed to close with a Green Doji candle, supported by short covering in futures options (FO).
Assuming no major issues affect the market, it is anticipated that Nifty will continue on an upward trend, either with a gap-up or a flat open, depending on the performance of SGX NIFTY and other global indices by the time the market opens on Tuesday.
While it's a prediction and carries a 50/50 chance, the general theory is that people tend to pull back on Fridays due to the weekends. With the current pandemic situation, it is expected that on Monday, investors might look to buy the dip. However, it's important to note that this prediction is based on general trends and should not be taken as a definitive forecast.
