Nifty may face resistance at 18633–18699
“NSE Nifty 50 immediate support level is at the 9-DMA of 18264, and if it falls below, the next demand zone is at 18120–18000. On the upside, if the Nifty breaches the 18476 level, it could face resistance at 18633–18699,” said Pravesh Gour, Senior Technical Analyst, Swastika Investmart Ltd.
Nifty’s biggest support to watch is at 18211
“If Tuesday’s profit booking is any indication, then Nifty’s biggest support to watch is at the 18211 mark and below the same, expect a waterfall of selling towards the 17383 mark,” said Prashanth Tapse, Senior VP (Research), Mehta Equities Ltd.
Nifty expected to rise until index trades above 18400
“Profit-taking is likely to continue on the daily chart. Above the 18400 level, the Nifty might face resistance, below that level, it might retest the 18200 level. Hence, the index is expected to continue rising in the future until the index trades above 18400. On the upside, support lies at 18,200, followed by 18,130 and 18,000,” said Rohan Shah, head technical analyst at Stoxbox.
NSE Nifty 50 may fall to 18200-18100
“If weakness persists in the morning session, then further profit booking may push NSE Nifty 50 towards 18200 and then 18100 in the near term. Nevertheless, the overall sentiment remains strongly bullish. The levels of 18400 to 18500 can now be considered an immediate hurdle,” said Rajesh Bhosale, Technical Analyst at Angel One Ltd.
Nifty may continue to exhibit weakness and drift towards 18200
“Over the short term, it is expected that the Nifty will continue to exhibit weakness and could potentially drift towards the support level of 18200. A decisive drop below this support level may trigger additional selling pressure in the market. On the upside, resistance is observed at 18300 and 18500,” said Rupak De, Senior Technical analyst at LKP Securities.
