Day trading guide for the stock market today

On the outlook for the Nifty 50 today, Nagaraj Shetti, Senior Technical Research Analyst at HDFC Securities said, "The Nifty 50 index is currently placed at the hurdle of around 22,800 levels (ascending resistance trend line and 1.618% Fibonacci extension). Though Nifty today is placed near the hurdle, still there is no sign of any reversal forming at the highs. Immediate support for Nifty today is placed at 22,615 levels. A decisive move above 22,800 levels is expected to open further upside momentum for the market ahead."

Unveiling stock market strategy after the profit-booking trigger in the early morning session, Rajesh Bhosale, Technical Analyst at Angel One said, "Going ahead, the nature of the correction that unfolds will be pivotal. A price-based correction could trigger broad market profit-taking, whereas a time-wise correction might maintain the benchmark index within a range while individual stocks continue to outperform. Amidst this uncertainty, it's advisable to avoid aggressive bets and instead continue with disciplined stock-specific trades, ensuring proper exit strategies are in place. Key levels to monitor include 22,800 to 22,850 as significant resistance, followed by psychological resistance at 23,000, with immediate support observed around 22,600 to 22,550."
