Indian equity benchmarks ended higher on Tuesday. Traders were cautious after rating agencies Crisil and ICRA downgraded their GDP growth projections for India for the ongoing financial year (FY23). Sentiments were boosted after India and the European Union (EU) signed an agreement on cooperation in various areas including climate modeling and quantum technologies. 

“Technically, this pattern indicates an upside bounce in the market. The Nifty moved up on Tuesday from near the important cluster support of around 18,100 levels (20 days EMA, opening upside gap of November 11, and previous swing highs as per the concept of change in polarity). This is a positive indication,” Nagaraj Shetti, Technical Research Analyst at HDFC Securities said.
