Markets Ahead

It looks like Nifty is seeing small profit bookings and a gap filling. Based on this analysis we can expect a fall of 18,050. 

Bank Nifty broke the previous day's low two times today, but the index did not see a proper fall. I will be watching 42,200 and 42k on the downside.

Since it’s a Fin Nifty tomorrow, we can expect some volatile movements around 19k.

Reliance is witnessing a profit booking and we can expect good support art 2500-2520 zone.

ICICI Bank is struggling to break the 921 resistance, but it is slowly building momentum.
