Trade Setup for Tuesday

On the outlook for the Nifty 50 and the Bank Nifty index, Vaishali Parekh, vice president of technical research at Prabhudas Lilladher said “Nifty with an inside bar formation pattern on the daily chart has been consolidating near the 24,600-24,700 zone since the last 2 sessions and would need to breach above the 24,750 level decisively to carry on further, with the upward move for next targets of 25,200 and 25,800 levels as mentioned earlier, with overall bias maintained cautiously positive.”

“The zone near the significant 50EMA level of 24,400 would be the immediate support for the index, which needs to be sustained as of now,” said the stock market expert.

“Bank Nifty has been finding tough resistance near the 53,800 zone since the last 3 sessions, and with a rangebound movement, has been hovering near the 53,300-53,500 zone for quite some time. The 52,600 level would be the important support for the index, which needs to be sustained to maintain the overall bias intact and to expect a further rise,” said Parekh.

Parekh also said that the Nifty 50 Spot for today has support at 24,500 points, while the resistance lies at 24,800 points. The Bank Nifty index would have a daily range of 53,000 to 54,000.
