Markets Ahead
Nifty has hit our target of 19,800 levels and faced resistance from the gap-filling levels of 19,840 and stayed there. Bank Nifty is also holding the upper levels and might continue the up-move if today’s lows are not breached.
Nifty: The immediate support for the index is near 19,780. Meanwhile, the immediate resistance to watch out for is the 19,880 level. A breakout from there could take Nifty up to 19,946 and 20,000 levels eventually.
Bank Nifty: The immediate support is near 44,400. A breakdown from this level might take the index down to 44,180 and 44,080. On the other hand, 44,750 is the immediate resistance to watch out. A breakout from there may give us targets of 45,000 and 45,100.
Being Bank Nifty expiry today, the market was more or less calm and consolidating. Tomorrow’s Nifty expiry can be trending based on the breakdown or breakout levels. So watch out for the key levels.
