On outlook for Nifty today, Vaishali Parekh said, "Nifty hit the All-Time High during the intraday session but thereafter witnessed heavy profit booking to slip down to touch the 19,400 zone with heavyweights shedding their gains. The strong trend still remains intact with the near-term support maintained near 19,300 levels as said earlier and a decisive breach above 19,550 zone need to be sustained for continuation of fresh upward move. The broader markets witnessed heavy profit booking with a big red candle to make the scenario little bit cautious."
"Bank Nifty witnessed a decent pullback in the initial hours but fizzled out in the second half to erode the gains and close on a flat note. The 44,500 levels still as an important support zone breaching which the trend can turn weak overall," said Parekh.
Parekh went on to add that immediate support for Nifty today is placed at 19,300 while its resistance is placed at 19,550 levels. Bank Nifty would have the daily range of 44,400 to 45,000 levels.
