Market Outlook Today By Dr. V K Vijayakumar, Chief Investment Strategist, Geojit Financial Services
The Chinese monetary stimulus measures lifted the Chinese and Hong Kong markets yesterday and if the rally continues it is possible that FIIs will move more funds to invest in these markets which are highly attractive on valuations. In India metal stocks rallied in response to the Chinese stimulus measures.
It remains to be seen whether the Chinese monetary stimulus will have an enduring positive impact since China’s economic woes are structural and difficult to address through a monetary stimulus. It is more likely that the positive sentiments now being felt may soon dissipate and weaken.
The gush of domestic liquidity, which is the main driving force behind the rally in India, is likely to keep the market resilient. If Nifty is to go past 26000 decisively and sustain there, it has to be led by the Bank Nifty. There is more steam in this segment.

Nifty Prediction Today By Osho Krishan, Senior Analyst - Technical & Derivatives, Angel One Ltd
The bulls succeeded in upholding their positive stance, yet the emergence of small-bodied candlesticks hinted at a sense of indecision. Given the current scenario, with technical and derivative metrics displaying highly overbought conditions, it is prudent to refrain from aggressive bets and instead keep booking profits at elevated levels. Technically, as we merely saw any change on closure, but surprising intraday blips cannot be ruled out. On the level-specific front, the 26000 mark withholds the formidable barrier to the ongoing momentum, and a decisive breakthrough could only trigger the next leg of the rally towards 26200, marking a sustained uptrend. On the lower end, 25900-25800 is likely to cushion any shortcomings, while strong support lies around 25750-25700 in the comparable period. Sectoral rotation is quite evident in the market, and accordingly, one needs to monitor momentum for outperformance. Furthermore, favorable global developments are expected to bolster and drive momentum in our markets, so it is essential to remain vigilant.

Fundamental Outlook of Market
Fundamentally the markets should deliver 12-15% returns per annum and therefore we expect 18-24 months for markets to get to these levels. However, there is a strong buying momentum in the market that is fueled by strong liquidity. In such a scenario markets can overextend. Which means that we may see the 100k number shortly, said Vaibhav Porwal, co-founder, Dezerv.
