Technical View
Commenting on the technical outlook of the NSE Nifty 50, Jatin Gedia – Technical Research Analyst at Sharekhan by BNP Paribas, said, “On the daily charts, we can observe that the Nifty is consolidating the range 19,400 – 19,500 where resistance in the form of the key daily moving averages are placed which restricts the upside On the downside the gap area formed in the range 19,280 – 19,310 is a crucial support from short term perspective. Unless the range is decisively breached on either side we can expect the range-bound action to continue. Regarding levels, 19,460 – 19,500 is the immediate hurdle zone while 19,280 – 19,310 is the crucial support zone.
Bank Nifty Outlook
Bank Nifty index added 24.95 points or 0.06% to settle at 43,683.60 on Thursday. The index has remained sideways during the day as it sustained above the support at 43,500 while it failed to reach the crucial resistance of 44,000. Going forward, the trend is likely to remain sideways to positive as long as it sustains above 43,500. The index has been lacking momentum at the higher levels. A fall below 43,500 might signal a failure of the current trend; below 43,500, the index might fall towards 43,000-42,800,” said Rupak De, Senior Technical analyst at LKP Securities.
