Nifty 50 Prediction

The Nifty 50 started the week at a new record high with a significant gap up and the benchmark ended above 23,300, with gains of over 3%, on June 3.

“The Nifty started the day by breaking out from the previous swing high on the daily chart, driven by the exuberance created following the exit poll. The sentiment remains highly dependent on the election results tomorrow. If the election results align with the exit poll or fall below the exit poll numbers, it might attract mild to heavy selling pressure in the overall market, including the Nifty space,” said Rupak De, Senior Technical Analyst, LKP Securities.
