Nifty Eyes Rebound After 4-Day Slide; ICICI Pru AMC Makes D-Street Debut Today | Opening Bell Live
The Nifty 50 failed to sustain its intraday recovery and ended flat with a negative bias on December 18, extending its downtrend for the fourth straight session and continuing the lower high–lower low formation. However, both the Nifty and Bank Nifty appear to have formed a bullish reversal-type pattern. The index managed to hold above the 50-day EMA and an upward-sloping support trendline on a closing basis. Experts say a rebound could face resistance in the 25,900–26,000 zone, while a decisive break below 25,750–25,700 may open the door for a deeper correction toward 25,500–25,450. Among stocks in focus today are IT names after Accenture’s earnings, while Bharti Airtel will be watched amid a series of senior leadership changes and Vodafone Idea is in focus after it raises Rs 3,300 crore NCD raise to fund growth. ICICI Prudential AMC makes its stock market debut following strong demand during its IPO.
