Outlook for September 28

Rupak De, Senior Technical analyst at LKP Securities:

The Nifty showed a strong recovery during the day, finding support at the 50EMA. The day concluded with the formation of a bullish engulfing pattern. On the upper side, resistance is situated at 19,750. A clear breakout is necessary to anticipate a substantial rally in the index.

A decisive move beyond 19,750 could potentially push the index towards 19,900. On the downside, support is established at 19,600.

Jatin Gedia – Technical Research Analyst at Sharekhan by BNP Paribas:

The Nifty opened the gap down and witnessed a sharp correction thereafter. Soon it witnessed a recovery, which lasted throughout the day and the Nifty closed in the green up ~51 points. It has managed to close above the 40-day moving average (19,630) and the 61.82 percent Fibonacci retracement level (19,604), which is a sign of strength.

The daily momentum indicator has reached the equilibrium line indicating that the correction has matured, and it can start the new cycle, which is a bullish sign. Thus, both price and momentum indicators suggest that today’s low of 19,554 shall be a short-term bottom and the index is likely to witness a pullback over the next few trading sessions. In terms of levels, 19,600–19,550 is the crucial support zone while 19,880–19,900 shall act as an immediate hurdle zone.

Bank Nifty held on to its 78.6% Fibonacci support (44,360) and witnessed a sharp bounce back. We believe that a short-term bottom is in place and the Bank Nifty is likely to witness a pullback over the next few trading sessions. On the upside we expect the Bank Nifty to pull back towards 45,000 initially and above that potentially towards 45,200.
