Stock market today
Vaishali Parekh, Vice President of Technical Research at Prabhudas Lilladher, believes the Indian stock market sentiment remains positive despite the Nifty 50 index closing lower on Friday, as it has sustained above 26,000. The key benchmark index has made crucial support at 25,800.
Speaking on the outlook of the Nifty 50 index, Vaishali Parekh said, “The Nifty 50 index witnessed a highly volatile session, slipping down with profit booking seen and ending near the 26,000 zone with the broader markets sliding down after finding resistance near the peak zone with bias still maintained intact. The index would have the near-term support at the 25,800 zone, which needs to be sustained, and, on the upside, once a breakthrough above the 26,200 zone is confirmed, then it can expect fresh higher targets of 26,700 and 27,200 levels in the coming days, as mentioned earlier.”
On the outlook of the Nifty 50 index, Parekh said, “The Bank Nifty index after finding resistance near the 59440 zone, took a breather once again to witness some profit booking to close near the 58900 zone with near-term support positioned near the 58000 level while the major and crucial support lies near the 50EMA zone at 57300 level which needs to be sustained to maintain the overall trend intact. Once the 58,500 zone is sustained, the index can expect another fresh round of upward move with targets of 60,000 and 61,600 levels visible.”
Parekh stated that immediate support for the Nifty 50 index is located at 25,900, while the resistance level is at 26,300. The Bank Nifty is expected to have a daily range of 58,500-59,400.
