Nifty Outlook
Commenting on Nifty prediction today, Jatin Gedia - Technical Research Analyst at Sharekhan by BNP Paribas said, "The Nifty opened on a flat note and continued to drift lower throughout the day to close in the negative down ~94 points. On the daily charts, we can observe that the counter-trend pullback fizzled out around 19450 and the nifty is witnessing follow-through selling pressure. The Momentum setup on the daily and hourly charts also suggesting weakness. Thus, both price and momentum indicators suggest that the weakness is likely to persist. On the way downside the selling pressure is likely to intensify, and we shall continue to maintain our negative outlook on the index for target of 19100. In terms of levels, 19100 - 19000 is the crucial support zone while 19400 - 19430 shall act as an immediate hurdle zone."

Bank Nifty Outlook
Commenting on Bank Nifty prediction today, Jatin Gedia said "Bank Nifty has also witnessed follow through selling pressure and has closed in the negative for the second consecutive day. The daily and the hourly momentum indicator are providing a divergent signal and hence a consolidation is likely. Daily Bollinger bands are also contracting indicating that there could be some consolidation in the near term. The range of consolidation is likely to be 43600 - 44700."
