Markets Ahead

Markets took a pause after a huge fall yesterday (monthly expiry). Nifty has given a negative closing on a weekly time frame. This is the first negative closing for Nifty after a strong rally (from 18,900 to 19,990 levels).

Nifty: The major support zone in Nifty is clearly 19,600 levels, and the important resistance now will be 19,700. A breakdown from this support can give us a target of 19,560 and 19,520, while a breakout on the upside can give us a target of 19,750 and 19,820.

Bank Nifty: The next important support level for the index is 45,300, and major resistance would be 45,600. A breakout from 45,600 can give us a target of 46,200 and a breakdown can give us a target of 45,000 and 44,800 eventually.

In the next trading session, major bearishness could hit the markets if the market moves below today’s low and a trend reversal will also be confirmed.

US gross domestic product (GDP) expanded by 2.4% annually in the April-June quarter, surpassing the expected 1.8%. Despite robust economic data from the US, crude oil futures traded lower today morning. Look out for important economic data like India’s manufacturing & services PMI, auto sales data, and others next week!
