“Markets started the week on a subdued note and shed nearly half a percent. After the flat opening, the Nifty oscillated in a narrow range however a sharp dip in the final hours pushed the index lower. Meanwhile, traction continued in pharma, auto and energy packs while FMCG, financials and IT were slightly on the back foot. It was a muted session for the broader indices too as both ended flat,” Ajit Mishra, SVP – Technical Research, Religare Broking Ltd.

Mishra also added that, Indications are in favor of consolidation to continue and expect Nifty to respect the 21,450-21,600 zone, in case the profit taking extends. Interestingly, the prevailing buoyancy in the PSU pack and broader indices has not been impacted so far but we feel traders should now maintain caution while chasing the momentum and keep an exit plan in place.

Technical View
Commenting on the Technical outlook of Nifty Kunal Shah, Senior Technical & Derivative Analyst at LKP Securities, said The Nifty index has formed a double top pattern on the daily chart, signaling a potential cautionary stance for traders. The resistance level is identified at 22,200, and a decisive break above this on a closing basis could invalidate the bearish outlook. Conversely, the support for the index is situated at 21,650, coinciding with its 20DMA (20-day moving average). A breach below this support level might intensify selling pressure in the market.
Bank Nifty Outlook
“The Bank Nifty index is currently in a bearish territory, encountering formidable resistance at 46,500. The index’s immediate support is positioned at 45,400, and a breach below this level is anticipated to trigger additional selling pressure. The index persists in a “sell on rise” mode unless it convincingly surpasses the 46,500 mark on a closing basis,” said Kunal Shah, Senior Technical & Derivative Analyst at LKP Securities.
