Market Outlook By Mr. Aditya Gaggar, Director of Progressive Shares
Banking and FMCG counters dented the market sentiments and pulled the Index lower to end the session at 21,717.95. On the daily chart, the Index has made a big negative candle but defended the level of 21,700 as well as 21DMA support, which can be considered as immediate support, while the upside seems to be capped at 21,900. In case of a decisive breakdown, the correction may extend to 21,500 while on the higher side, a convincing close above 22,100 is a must for resuming its uptrend. BankNifty is the main area of concern as it has breached its strong support level and now the immediate support is placed at 44,500 while the upside is capped at 45,600. Except for the PSU Banking space, all other sectors are giving signs of a short-term reversal (profit booking correction).
