Nifty technical outlook
“Nifty seemed to have halted after 4 days of sharp rise. It may now consolidate/correct minorly before embarking on the next move. 17,173 to 17,390 could be the band for the Nifty in the near term,” said Deepak Jasani, Head of Retail Research, HDFC Securities.
” If we look at the lower time frame charts of Nifty, the momentum set ups are showing a negative divergence as although the index surpassed the previous day’s high, the oscillator has not thus formed a divergence. Also Nifty is trading around the crucial hurdle of 61.8% retracement of the entire corrective phase of last few months. Usually when such divergences in overbought zone coincide around crucial resistance, it should lead to either a time-wise or a price-wise correction in the index in the short term,” said Ruchit Jain, Lead Research at 5paisa.com.
Ruchit Jain went on to add that traders should look to book profits on long positions and look for some correction in the next few days. “The immediate support for Nifty is placed around 17200 below which the index could test 17000 level. On the flipside, 17350-17400 is the immediate resistance zone,” Jain said.
Bank Nifty technical outlook
“Immediate support for Nifty Bank index is placed at 37,600 to 37,700 mark whereas it is facing immediate hurdle at 38,400 to 38,500 levels. So, broader range of Bank Nifty is placed in between 37,600 to 38,500 levels,” said Vaishali Parekh, Vice President — Technical Research at Prabhudas Lilladher.
