Speaking on the outlook of the Nifty 50 index, Vaishali Parekh said the 50-stock index witnessed some profit booking and slipped below the 24,500 zone, nearing the important support level of 24,400 after prolonged consolidation and flat closing over the past few days.

“The Nifty 50 index has remained flat for quite some time, and as mentioned earlier, would need to sustain the important band range of 24,350 -24,400 zone to maintain the positive outlook intact, whereas on the upside, a decisive move above the important 200-period MA at 24700 zone is much needed to trigger a breakout and thereafter, expect a fresh upward move in the coming days,” said Parekh.

On the outlook of the Bank Nifty today, Vaishali Parekh of Prabhudas Lilladher said, the key benchmark index slipped down below the important 200-period MA at 57,480 level during the session but managed to hold on to the important support zone at 50-EMA level of 57,100 zone to sustain the bias with HDFC Bank hovering near the crucial and important support of 725 zone which needs to be sustained failing which it can drag the index further down in the coming sessions.

“The Bank Nifty index would need a decisive breach above the tough resistance hurdle at the 58,500 zone, whereas the important and major support would be positioned near the 100-period MA at the 56,000 level,” she added.
