Stock market today
Vaishali Parekh, Vice President — Technical Research at Prabhudas Lilladher, believes the Gift Nifty live chart is signalling a gap-down opening for the Indian stock market as the index is trading around 35 points below the spot Nifty close on Wednesday. She said the Nifty 50 index needs to sustain above 23,800 to keep the bullish sentiments intact.
Speaking on the outlook for the Nifty 50 today, Vaishali Parekh said, “The key index witnessed consolidation in the 23850–24000 zone, with a narrow rangebound session, closing on a flat note, with bias and sentiment maintained positive, with a slightly cautious approach.”
The Prabhudas Lilladher expert said the Nifty 50 index would need to sustain itself above the near-term support at 23,800, while the important support zone is positioned near 23,800, which needs to be sustained as of now. On the upside, a breach above the 24,000 level shall trigger the next higher targets of 24,200 and 24,400 levels in the coming days.
On the outlook for the Bank Nifty today, Parekh said, the benchmark index continued to trade weak during the session, witnessing steady profit booking near the 50-EMA level of 55,221 in the morning session, and closed near the lower end in the 54,800 zone, with bias and sentiment maintained in a cautious approach.
“The Bank Nifty index would have the crucial 54100 zone, which is the GAP area, and would need to sustain it to avoid any fresh trigger of selling pressure with the next major support positioned near the 52800 zone. The support for the day is at 23700, while the resistance is at 24100. BankNifty would have the daily range of 54000-55500 levels,” said Parekh.
