Technical View
Commenting on the technical outlook of Nifty 50, Jatin Gedia – Technical Research Analyst at Sharekhan by BNP Paribas, said, “The daily momentum indicator has triggered a positive crossover and hence in case of a dip it should be used as a buying opportunity. Today’s intraday consolidation is a bullish sign as it sustained the gains, and we expect the positive momentum to continue over the next few trading sessions till 19,883 which is the 61.82% Fibonacci retracement level of the entire fall from 20,222 till 19,333. On the downside, the gap area formed today in the range 19,718 – 19,757 is likely to act as a short-term support.”
Bank Nifty Outlook
On Wednesday, the Bank Nifty index added as much as 156.75 points or 0.35% to settle at 44,516.90. “The index experienced a consolidation phase on the day of expiry, with support evident at 44,400 and resistance at 44,700 levels. The overall undertone of the index remains bullish, suggesting that a “buy on dip” approach is appropriate. If the index manages to break above the 44,700 level, it is likely to see further upside potential toward the 45,000 mark,” said Kunal Shah, Senior Technical & Derivative analyst at LKP Securities.
