The Nifty index has been witnessing a positive to range-bound move for the last four trading sessions, touching a fresh all-time high of 23,481 levels. However, it lacked momentum and remained in a range, with supports gradually shifting higher. It has been forming small-bodied candles on the daily frame. Now, it has to hold above 23,300 zones for an upside move towards 23,550 and then 23,700 zones, whereas supports are placed at 23,300 and then 23,150 zones.
India VIX was down by 6.26% from 14.38 to 13.48 levels. Volatility has cooled off over the last six sessions, comforting the bulls at higher zones. Option data suggests a broader trading range between 22,900 to 23,700 zones, with an immediate range between 23,200 to 23,500 levels.
Support: 23,300-23,150
Resistance: 23,550-23,700
Bank Nifty Outlook and Strategy
Deven Mehata - Choice Broking
Bank Nifty traded sideways for the past four trading sessions, forming a neutral candle on the daily chart. The index managed to close above 49,600 levels, signaling strength. On the higher side, Bank Nifty faces minor resistance in the range of 50,000-50,200 levels. Once the index manages to close above this resistance range, it has the potential to move towards the target of 50,500 levels. Today’s closing above 49,800 underscores the sideways to bullish sentiment in Bank Nifty. If the index surpasses 50,000 on a closing basis, it could attract additional buying interest, propelling it towards the significant milestone of 50,500.
Key Resistance: 50,000-50,200
Key Support: 49,600-49,500
Strategy: Buy on dips near 49,600 levels for the target of 50,200 and 50,500 levels.
