Though we are just two weeks away from Lok Sabha Election results, the broader market has started displaying volatile tendencies. For instance, India VIX is trading at an elevated number of 20, indicating a sense of fear and caution in the market. During the day, Nifty took support at the 22000 range and formed a bullish candlestick pattern 'Pin Bar' at the daily timeframe and a dual candlestick pattern 'Piercing Line' candlestick at the weekly timeframe. On the other hand, the price has been closing above the 20 and 50-day EMAs.
Market Outlook
"The benchmark index also traded within a wide range of nearly 300 points, while Bank Nifty traded in the wide range of 700 points in intraday. The session also observed expiry volatility as the broader market provided trading opportunities to both sides of expiry traders. Now, both Nifty and Bank Nifty are likely to continue their upward trend as long as they manage to trade above the last session's opening level. Notably, the Nifty will display bullish tendencies above the 22450 mark and bearish below the 22280 mark," said V.L.A. Ambala, a Research Analyst (SEBI Registered), Co-founder - Stock Market Today (SMT).

"As anticipated, IT, Media, and Realty emerged as the top three leaders of the day. For the next session, we expect FMCG, CONSUMPTION, IT, and MEDIA to be in focus. Hence, I recommend keeping a close watch on stocks like ZEEL, TATACHEM, APOLLOTYRE, MPHASIS, OBEROIRLTY, and HDFCAMC" she further added.
Nifty & Bank Nifty Prediction Today
"For the Nifty index, the key support levels for the next trading session will be around 22280/22200/22160, whereas resistance will likely be noticed between 22450 and 22600. On the other hand, the Banking Index could find key support at 48050/48200/48350, and witness 47850 and 47700, acting as their major resistance points," VLA Ambala predicted.
