“Markets may see a steady opening on the back of sluggish cues from global indices. However, with the absence of any major negative news, the upward march is likely to continue, although valuations appear to be getting expensive after the gush of foreign flows in the past few months. While the big event of the day is going to be the demerger of Jio Financial Services from Reliance Industries, the focus will also be on key corporate earnings from Infosys, Hindustan Unilever, etc. among others. If aggressive buying by foreign investors continues, all eyes will be on Nifty as it is nearing the crucial 20,000 mark,” said Prashanth Tapse, Senior VP (Research), Mehta Equities Ltd.
“Bank Nifty has managed to hold the support zone between 45300 and 45200, which is a positive sign for the buyers. The immediate resistance on the upside is situated at 45800. If the index manages to sustain above this level, it is likely to open up further upside potential towards 46000 and 46300 levels,” said Kunal Shah, Senior Technical & Derivative analyst at LKP Securities.
“Bank Nifty consolidated within the range of the previous trading session (45906–45281) and has thus formed an Inside bar pattern which makes the extremes of the range crucial levels from a short-term perspective. A breach of the extremes shall lead to a move in that particular direction. We expect the breakout to be on the upside and expect the Bank Nifty to target levels of 46500,” said Jatin Gedia – Technical Research Analyst at Sharekhan by BNP Paribas.
“Nifty has formed a higher bottom formation on intraday charts which is indicating a further uptrend from the current levels. As long as the index is holding 19725 the positive sentiment is likely to continue. Above the same, the market could rally till 19950-19975. Below the same, we could expect one quick correction till 19650-19615,” said Shrikant Chouhan, Head of Research (Retail), Kotak Securities Ltd.
