Markets Ahead
Major indices are holding the upper levels and respecting key resistances. So a breakout or breakdown from these key levels will decide the upcoming market trend.
Nifty: It's crucial to keep an eye on the major resistance at 19,470. If the index breaks out from that level, it could potentially move up towards 19,520 and round levels of 19,600. Meanwhile, there's strong support for the index near 19,400 levels. If it breaks down below this point, we might see a fall towards 19,350 and 19,300.
Bank Nifty: The resistance to look for in BNF is 43,700. If the index manages to breach this level, it might make its way up to 43,900. On the other hand, the support to watch out for is 43,500. If the index falls below this point, it could potentially fall to 43,300 and 43,000 levels eventually.
All eyes will be on US Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell's speech that might point the way for future interest rate policy.
