Technical View Of Stock Market Today
Prashanth Tapse, Senior VP (Research), Mehta Equities: Nifty has declined for four consecutive days, with a rough start expected today due to July F&O expiry-induced volatility. The Union Budget, praised for fiscal prudence and employment focus, targets a 4.9% fiscal deficit and Rs 11.11 trillion in infrastructure spending for FY25. However, a capital gains tax hike is dampening sentiment. Technically, a bearish engulfing pattern suggests downside risk towards 24,000. Nifty's options data indicates a trading range of 23,500-25,000, with 25,000 as key resistance. Q1 results are anticipated from companies like ASHOK LEYLAND and NESTLE.
