The Nifty 50 index bounced back strongly from its important support at 21,500, indicating that the bulls are quite active at this level. The Nifty closed at 21,623, near its resistance on January 10. If it manages to close above 21,700-21,750 levels, we might see the Nifty reaching 22,000.
For those looking to buy Nifty, the recommended range is between 21,550-21,600. One can set a stop-loss at 21,480 and aim for a target of 21,750.
The Bank Nifty index experienced a volatile trading session on the day of weekly expiry, but the bulls successfully defended the crucial support level of 47,000. Despite this, the overall market sentiment remains in "sell on rise" mode.
The immediate hurdle for the banking index is at 47,500, where the highest open interest is concentrated on the Call side. To initiate a short-covering move and potentially target the 48,000 mark, the index needs to convincingly surpass the level of 47,500 on a closing basis.
