Weekly market outlook
Nifty 50
On the outlook, Dongre said, “On the technical front, the support zone of 24,300–24,400, which coincides with the 200-day EMA and the 38.2% Fibonacci retracement level, continues to act as a strong base. Sustaining above the 24,300–24,500 range could pave the way for a rebound toward the 25,000–25,200 levels.”
Bank Nifty
Meanwhile, speaking on the outlook, he further added, ” The Bank Nifty managed to hold firmly above the 54,000 mark, with broader support placed at 53,500–54,000 and resistance seen at 56,000–57,000. PSU banks and NBFCs remained resilient, supported by the RBI’s steady policy stance.
Overall, the market tone remains cautiously optimistic, with traders eyeing a decisive breakout above 25,600 on the Nifty and 57,000 on the Bank Nifty to confirm the resumption of a stronger upward momentum. Participants are advised to stay selective, disciplined, and attentive to global cues as well as geopolitical developments.”
