Nifty Outlook Today
Anand James, Chief Market Strategist, Geojit Financial Services said, "We had gone in yesterday, favouring a sideways move, unable to spot a directional set up. Incidentally, the sharp plunge served only to wipe off the gains of the first half, and not any more, ensuring a smaller candle than the previous day. This points to indecisiveness, and not as much of a directional bias that the plunge would have us believe. This calls for a swing higher again towards 21630, should the 20d sma at 21484 holds. Else, expect 20900s, but it is less favoured for now."

A couple of Civil Construction stocks have given a strong breakout with considerable volumes namely Ashoka Buildcon and NBCC (technical coverage), follow-up buying can be expected, said Mr. Aditya Gaggar, Director of Progressive Shares.
