Markets Ahead

Volatility Continues!

With the help of second-half recovery, Nifty and Bank Nifty closed well today. Nifty took support from the 17,220 level today, giving more significance to that level. We can expect support from 17,180, 17,110 and 17k in the coming days. But it should break 17,440 to regain its bullish momentum.

Bank Nifty closed above 39,000- the third day in a row. We are expecting two supports- 38,800 and 38,500.

FinNifty took beautiful supports from the 17,580 level multiple times. This level will be watched for the next week also. 

TCS will post its second-quarter results on Monday and we can expect some volatility in the stock. Also, if the result is not in line with the estimate it would affect other Nifty IT stocks also.

U.S Job data will be out today, and we need to wait for its impact on today’s U.S market movements.
