Indian markets are likely to have a flattish tone in the opening bell of Tuesday as the Gift Nifty trades muted. Also, Asian shares traded mixed despite a positive trend in Wall Street overnight. Traders will be awaiting CPI inflation and IIP data due later in the day. In the previous session, domestic equities witnessed impressive buying with Nifty 50 breaching over the psychological 20,000 mark. Sensex also crossed over the 67,000 mark, however, resisted touching its all-time high levels. Bulls were across sectoral indices with midcap and smallcap stocks outshining their large-cap counterparts.

Tuesday's Trade Guide:
Vaishali Parekh, Vice President - Technical Research, Prabhudas Lilladher expects the Nifty Spot Index to find support around 19,850/19,800 during Thursday's trade, while resistance is seen at 20,150/20,200. Further, the Bank Nifty spot index is likely to find support in the range of 45,300/45,250 and resistance is seen between 46,000/46,050.
To investors, Ajit Mishra, SVP - Technical Research, Religare Broking said, "We may see some consolidation around the current levels after reclaiming the record high but the tone is likely to remain positive. While all the sectors are contributing to the move, we feel the performance of banking would play a crucial role in making a sustained up move from hereon. At the same time, participants should maintain caution in stock selection, especially in the midcap and smallcap space."
Nifty 50 Support Level:
In his technical view for Nifty 50, Rupak De, Senior Technical analyst at LKP Securities said, looking ahead, market sentiment is expected to remain upbeat as long as the Nifty stays above the 19,900 level. On the upside, we can identify an immediate resistance zone between 20,100 and 20,200. If there is a convincing breakthrough above 20,200, it could pave the way for the Nifty to advance towards the 20,500 mark.
