On outlook for Nifty 50 today, Vaishali Parekh said, "Nifty indicated further weakness with gap down opening to make new low of 19333 level and witnessed some recovery in the second half to minimise the loss to some extent with bias still maintained with a cautious approach. The index would have the level of 19,200 as the major support zone from current levels and above a decisive breach above 19,600 is necessary to improve the sentiment."
"Bank Nifty breached below the 44000 zone to weaken the trend and with bias maintained with a cautious approach has next important and crucial support of 43400 zone. On the upside, as said earlier, a decisive breach above the 44800 zone of the important 50EMA level is necessary to improve the bias and ease out the sentiment," said Parekh.
"The support for the day is seen at 19300 levels while the resistance is seen at 19600 levels. Bank Nifty would have the daily range of 43600-44300 levels," Parekh added.
