Stock market today: Technical outlook of Nifty, Bank Nifty
"The short term trend of Nifty continues to be choppy. The market is stuck within a broader high low range of 18100-17500 levels and the movement within the said range is expected for the next few sessions. Any decisive move beyond this range could bring acceleration in the momentum on either side," said Nagaraj Shetti, Technical Research Analyst at HDFC Securities.
"Bank Nifty is hovering near the 41,000 and 41,700 zone finding resistance near the peak zone and would need a decisive breakout above this crucial levels for further continuation of the trend. At the same time, 40,300 to 40,400 zone is the crucial support zone breaking which can witness further slide on the downside to weaken the near term bias," said Vaishali Parekh, Vice President - Technical Research, Prabhudas Lilladher.
