Speaking on the outlook for the Indian stock market today, Ganesh Dongre said, "On the Nifty 50 front, the 50-stock index closed below the support level of 22500–22600 zone, which may keep the movement sideways for the Nifty in the upcoming days. The next resistance for the Nifty spot will be 22800-22900. As per today's chart pattern, we have seen the gap opening and continue its bullish trend, but Nifty has seen profit booking for the rest of the day. So, indices closed in negative territory at the end of the day. So, on the Nifty front, we may see profit booking on the stock-specific level in the upcoming trading session; next Nifty support stands at the 22100-22200 level."
