"Trading remained flat as headwinds from the global market and continued selling by FIIs kept domestic investors under vigil. While bargain hunting was visible in small-cap stocks due to the recent correction and favourable valuation compared to large and mid-caps, IT indices slid due to the fear of one more rate hike by the Fed and a consequent reduction in spending," said Vinod Nair, Head of Research at Geojit Financial Services.
Next week, the Reserve Bank of India's (RBI) Monetary Policy Committee (MPC) will meet from October 4–6 to make decisions regarding interest rates and the direction of policy. The vast majority of experts anticipate that the RBI would keep interest rates on hold.
Parekh said Nifty once again closed on a flat note near 19,650 zone with support maintained near the 19,600 levels with consolidation witnessed in the past the two sessions. As mentioned earlier, the index has got the crucial near-term support zone at around 19,550 levels of the significant 50EMA zone which needs to be sustained.
Bank Nifty has maintained the support near 44,500 levels in the last three sessions witnessing a rangebound movement and a decisive breach above 44,800 is necessary as of now to improve the bias to some extent, according to Parekh.
“The index has the next crucial support zone of 43,600 levels and on the upside a decisive breach above 45,000 levels is much important to improve the overall trend and anticipate for further rise. The support for the day is seen at 19,550 levels while the resistance is seen at 19,800 levels. Bank Nifty would have the daily range of 44,300-45,000 levels,”said Parekh.
