Nifty Prediction Today

According to Bajaj Broking Research, the Nifty formed a bullish candle with a higher high and higher low, signaling continuation of the pullback for the second session in a row. As mentioned in earlier editions, 25,700-25,800 acted as a major support as Nifty rebounded from this area.

"Going ahead, follow-through strength could push the index towards 26,200-26,300 in the coming sessions. Immediate support is placed at today's gap-up area of 25,900; holding above this will keep the immediate bias positive. Key support continues to be around 25,700-25,800, which aligns with the bullish gap from 12 November, the 50-day EMA and a key retracement zone of the prior up move," said Bajaj Broking.

Bank Nifty Outlook for Monday

Bajaj Broking Research further noted, "Bank Nifty has formed a Doji candle highlighting consolidation around the 20-day EMA amid stock-specific action. The index is expected to continue forming a base in the 58,500-60,100 range. Key short-term support lies at 58,200-58,600, representing the confluence of the recent low and major breakout area. On the upside, any follow-through strength above 59,500 could open the path towards the all-time high of 60,100 in the coming weeks."
