Prime Minister Narendra Modi on April 14 announced an extension in lockdown till May 3. Earlier the lockdown period was announced from March 25 till April 14.

Experts feel the extended lockdown will have an impact on the economy and earnings. Hence they expect some selling pressure to remain but overall the market will not have any major reaction during the extended lockdown period and will remain rangebound till the virus spread gets controlled.

According to the pivot charts, the key support level for Nifty is placed at 8,900.15, followed by 8,806.45. If the index starts moving up, key resistance levels to watch out for are 9,099.8 and 9,205.75.
