Nifty ends May strong; Jun 2 reversal closely watched

The Nifty50 wrapped up a volatile week ended May 30 with a 0.4% dip yet closed the month of May on a positive note, clocking a 1.7% gain.

The broader sentiment remained buoyed by continued foreign institutional investor (FII) inflows. Data indicates that in the first half of May, FIIs focused their buying in key sectors such as automobiles, auto components, telecom, and financials — reflecting a strategic tilt toward cyclical and defensively strong counters.

May 19 — A Pivotal Date Confirmed by Price Action
Over the past three weeks, May 19 was consistently highlighted as a technically significant date. This week’s market action validated that forecast with remarkable accuracy.

On May 26 and 27, Nifty’s intraday highs coincided precisely with the May 19 peak. Despite multiple attempts, the index failed to sustain above that level — underlining the importance of this resistance zone.

Additionally, last week’s article had flagged 25,083 as a key resistance level. The high for this week? 25,079.20 — a near-exact match. This kind of precision adds credibility to both price pattern forecasting and resistance zone projections.
