"Banking stocks are displaying a positive change in trend in expectation of a favourable judgment on interest waiver, ending the conflicting saga of moratorium which has heavily impacted the performance of the finance sector,” Vinod Nair, Head of Research at Geojit Financial Services told Moneycontrol.

“A supportive judgment from the Supreme Court and continuity of the good Q2 result will help India to add more traction," he said.

The court has adjourned to November 2 the hearing on a batch of petitions seeking interest waiver during the loan moratorium period.

The Nifty formed a bullish candle on the daily chart. The index has given its highest daily close in the last 148 trading sessions and formed an outside bar formation, which indicates that the bulls are empowering the move.

“Now it has to continue to hold above 11,900 zones to witness an upmove towards 12,100 then 12,200 zones while on the downside, major support exists in 11,800-11,750 zones,” Chandan Taparia of Motilal Oswal Financial Services Limited said.
