Market Outlook Today By Aditya Gaggar, Director of Progressive Shares
On 6th May, PSU stocks led correction dragged the Index lower to settle at 22,443. The Index has formed a small red candle but on the downside, the zone of 22,330-22,380 will act as a strong support, while the higher side seems to be capped at 22,580. Post the triangle breakout in the PSU Banking sector, it seems it has completed its pullback move, and today's activity is likely to confirm. Select buying was witnessed in the Pharma sector and we anticipate a range breakout shortly. Despite the weakness in the markets, the Realty sector demonstrates strength and almost all the components have given breakouts from different patterns (Godrej Properties - Major Rounding Bottom Breakout, Prestige - Rounding Bottom Breakout, Brigade- Inverted Head & Shoulder Breakout) which indicates an extension of the present uptrend. Investors should keep an eye on the Chemical stocks as stock-specific buying was observed in yesterday's trade.

Market Outlook Today By Asit C. Mehta Investment Interrmediates Ltd
From a technical standpoint, the index is consolidating within a rising channel pattern. On a daily scale, the index has formed a bearish engulfing candlestick pattern, followed by yesterday’s red candle, indicating weakness. If the Nifty goes below 22,340, the slide may continue to 22,100-22,000 levels in the near future.
Technically, the Bank Nifty index has formed a shooting star candle on the weekly scale. Thus, 49,975-50,000 will act as a short-term hurdle for the index. If the index sustains below 48,300 levels, then it could retrace back to 47,500-47,000 levels. For the short term, 48,500 and 48,300 will act as support points, whereas 49,500 and 50,000 will act as resistance points.

Bank Nifty Prediction Today By Om Mehra, Technical Analyst, SAMCO Securities
Bank Nifty concluded its fourth consecutive trading session with a decline of 0.06%, settling at 48,895.30. The weakness in Nifty banking stocks was particularly pronounced, with the Nifty PSU Index experiencing a notable drop of 3.66%.
A closer look at the hourly charts reveals that Bank Nifty found support at the critical level of 48,800 from which it rebound during intraday. The index's strength will be tested if these support levels are breached.
However, 48,300 displays important support as long as the index holds these levels, the primary trend remains bullish. The index could remain sideways in the 48,300-49300 range. Once these levels are taken out, the Index may move with a clear trend.

NIFTY Prediction By Om Mehra, Technical Analyst, SAMCO Securities
Following the bearish engulfing pattern that appeared on Friday, the Nifty displayed additional weakness. Hourly charts reveal lower lows and lower highs as well.
The Nifty encountered major resistance around the 22,450 mark, coinciding with the placement of the middle Bollinger band. The daily RSI (Relative Strength Index) also indicates weakness and is skewed towards the lower end. If Nifty slips below the crucial 22,400 level, it could potentially lead to a more pronounced decline. Key levels to watch include immediate support at 22,300 while resistance is placed at 22,550 followed by 22,600. Until the index attains 22,600, it would be better to employ a sell-on-rise strategy.
