Nifty Outlook Today
"Index formed a small bull candle with a long upper shadow signaling consolidation ahead of the US FOMC rate decision and ongoing geo-political tension. The index on expected lines is seen extending its ongoing five-week range-bound consolidation within the broader zone of 24,400-25,200. On the upside, the index faces immediate supply pressure near the 25,000 marks, a sustained breakout above this level could trigger a short-term pullback rally towards the upper boundary of the consolidation zone, pegged around 25,200. On the downside index has immediate support at 24,700 a breach below the same will lead to extension of decline towards the lower band of the consolidation range placed around 24,500-24,400 levels. Key support is anchored in the 24,500-24,400 zone, which marks a confluence of the 50-day EMA and the lower boundary of the five-week consolidation range, making it a crucial demand zone for the index," said the analysts of Bajaj Broking Research.
Bank Nifty Outlook Today
"Bank Nifty formed a small bull candle with a small upper shadow signaling consolidation ahead of the US Federal Reserve rate decision. Going ahead only a sustained close above the 56,000 marks could pave the way for further upside towards the 56,600 and 57,000 levels. However, inability to surpass this hurdle may result in continued range-bound price action between 56,000 and 55,000, with a likely shift in focus to stock-specific moves. On the downside, a decisive break down below the 55,000 marks would invalidate the current consolidation structure and open the gates for a retest of the key support zone in the 54,500-54,000 region in the coming sessions," commented the analysts of Bajaj Broking Research.
