On the outlook for Nifty today, Vaishali Parekh said, “The Nifty 50 index witnessed a volatile session swinging between 22,850 and 23,000 levels, with the overall bias maintained cautiously positive. We need to watch and wait for further developments to settle down. As said earlier, Nifty has the crucial support of 22,780 to 22,800 levels, while on the upper side, it needs to breach the 23,100 zones decisively for the bias to turn positive and establish some conviction.”
“The Bank Nifty index has a crucial support zone near 49000 levels, while 49700 levels on the upper side are the resistance barriers that must be crossed for a further upward move. As of now, the overall bias and sentiment would be maintained with a cautious approach, with volatility expected at regular intervals,” said Parekh.
Parekh went on to add that support for Sensex/Nifty today is at 74500/22750, while resistance is at 75800/23050. The Bank Nifty would have a daily range of 48,500 to 50,000 levels.
