Speaking on the outlook of the Nifty 50 today, Vaishali Parekh said, the 50-stock index opened with a gap up near the 24,000 zone but fizzled out, eroding the gains as the day progressed to end in the red below the 23,900 zone with bias and sentiment precariously placed with the important and crucial support of the 23,800 level under threat.
“With the index hovering below the 100-period MA of 24,000 level, it would need to sustain the 23,800 zone, and on the upside, from the current rate, it would need to move past the 50-EMA level at the 24,200 zone to improve the bias and establish conviction to continue with the upward move,” said Parekh.
On the outlook of the Bank Nifty today, the Prabhudas Lilladher expert said, the key benchmark index continues to be gripped between the tight range of 58,000 zone and 57,000 level with the major and crucial support positioned near the 100-period MA at 56,500 zone as the major support from the current rate, which needs to be sustained to maintain the trend intact.
“On the upside, the 58,000 zone continues to be the tough resistance hurdle which desperately needs to be conquered to trigger a breakout,” she added.
