Speaking on outlook for Nifty today, Nagaraj Shetti, Technical Research Analyst at HDFC Securities said, "The positive chart pattern like higher tops and bottoms is still intact and present weakness could be in line with the formation of new higher bottom. Hence, further weakness from here could signal higher bottom reversal around the next important support of 17,800 levels. Nifty on the weekly chart formed a small negative candle with long upper shadow. This chart pattern hints at a possibility of more weakness in the coming sessions."
Expecting bounce back from support levels, Rohan Patil, Technical Analyst, SAMCO Securities said, "The weekly momentum indicator still has a positive crossover, a buy signal. We believe that the uptrend is still intact, and this dip should be used as a buying opportunity." He said that Nifty continues to trade in a higher high higher bottom and prices are sustained above its short and medium-term averages.
On why Nifty Bank crashed more than double of Sensex and Nifty, Siddhartha Khemka, Head - Retail Research at Motilal Oswal said, "HDFC twins were major losers on Friday, dragging benchmark and banking indices down." In the week ahead, the Motilal Oswal expert predicted that Indian stock market would take cues from inflation, state election outcome and ongoing earning season.
On outlook for Nifty Bank index, Ruchit Jain, Lead Research at 5paisa.com said, "The readings on the Bank Nifty chart have given a negative crossover and thus there could be some deeper retracement in the banking index. The important support for this index is around 42,350 which needs to be closely watched. Below this, the Bank Nifty index could approach its next support towards 41,800."
