Nifty Outlook

Nagaraj Shetti, Senior Technical Research Analyst at HDFC Securities, noted that the underlying trend of Nifty remains choppy with a weak bias. He indicated that a sustainable move above 25,200 could lead to strong momentum, while a sharp weakness below 24,800-24,700 may trigger further declines.

Bank Nifty Analysis

Hrishikesh Yedve, AVP Technical and Derivatives Research at Asit C. Mehta, commented on the Bank Nifty’s performance, stating that it began on a sour note but saw brief buying demand before settling flat at 51,801. He mentioned that the index formed a shooting star candle on a daily scale and faces resistance near 52,030. If it sustains this level, it could test higher levels of 52,500–52,800, with strong support at 51,000.
