Stock market today

Vaishali Parekh, Vice President — Technical Research at Prabhudas Lilladher, believes that Dalal Street bias has improved, but the Nifty 50 index needs to cross the 24,800 hurdle for strengthening the bulls' conviction.

Speaking on the outlook of the Nifty 50 today, Vaishali Parekh said, the 50-stock index amid high fluctuations witnessed a strong, robust move in the second half, racing from 24,000 to close above the tough resistance hurdle of the 24,300 zone on the back of positive cues of Cease-fire from the Middle East, to ease out the sentiment and anticipate a further rise in the coming sessions.

“The index would need to sustain above the important support zone of 23,800 level as mentioned earlier, and with improved bias as of now, can expect higher targets of 24,800 and 25,000 levels in the coming days,” said Parekh.

On the outlook for the Bank Nifty today, Parekh said the index staged a strong recovery from the low made near the 54,600 zone and closed near the 56,000 level, with an optimistic move among banking stocks, which significantly improved the bias and sentiment.

“The Bank Nifty index managed to sustain the important and crucial near-term support at the 54,400 level, and on the upside, the 200-period MA at the 57,200 level would be the important hurdle which needs to be breached above decisively to establish conviction further ahead,” said Vaishali Parekh of Prabhudas Lilladher.
