Vaishali Parekh, Vice President — Technical Research at Prabhudas Lilladher believes that the Nifty 50 index is facing resistance at 21,700 to 21,750 zone.

On stocks to buy today, Vaishali Parekh recommended three intraday stocks for today — KRBL, RCF, and Godrej Consumer Products.
On the outlook for Nifty 50 today, Vaishali Parekh said, "Nifty 50 has witnessed resistance zone near 21,700 to 21,750 levels and has seen some rangebound movement between the 21,750 and 21,450 zones for quite some time and would need a decisive breach on either side of the band to confirm a directional move in the coming days. The 50-stock index has indicated a rising channel pattern on the daily chart with support now maintained near the 21,500 level and upside potential of 22,100 levels visible once a decisive breach above the 21,800 zone is confirmed."
"Bank Nifty once again has been moving sideways with resistance visible near the 47,650 zone for the session and on the downside 47,000 level is maintained as the crucial support zone. The index would need a decisive breach above the 48,000 to 48,200 zone decisively for confirmation of further fresh upward move," said Parekh.
Parekh went on to add that the immediate support for the Nifty 50 index today is placed at 21,500 while the resistance is seen at 21,800 levels. Bank Nifty would have a daily range of 47,100 to 47,800 levels.
