Stock market today
On the outlook for the Nifty 50 today, Vaishali Parekh said, "Nifty 50 index witnessed a slightly weak morning session but taking support from 21,880 zones, it witnessed a strong pullback to erase the loss and a decisive breach above 22,000 zones, further strengthened the bias to record the All-Time High level of 22,252 during the intraday session. With sentiment maintained positive, we anticipate the index to achieve the next targets of 22,400 and 22,800 levels, respectively in the coming days."
"Bank Nifty witnessed a decent revival from the 46,400 zone but resisted near the 47,000 levels to end lower near the 46,900 zone and has been underperforming as compared to the Nifty index. The index would have the important support of 50EMA level near the 46,200 zone and would need a decisive breach above 47,400 levels to improve the bias," said Parekh.
Parekh went on to add that the immediate support for Nifty today is placed at the 22,100 level, while the resistance is seen at the 22,400 mark. Bank Nifty would have a daily range of 46,600 to 47,500 levels.
