Stock market today
On the outlook of the Nifty today, Vaishali Parekh said, “Nifty plunges heavily on the back of weak global cues, especially from Asian markets, coupled with geo-political tensions in the Middle East, weakening the bias and sentiment significantly. The index has the crucial and important support of the 23700 zone, which, if broken, shall trigger further selling pressure, weakening the overall trend.”
“The Bank Nifty index opened on a weak note below the significant 50EMA level of 51,000 and breached below the 50,000 zone during the intraday session, with bias weakened. It has the next crucial support level of the 100-period MA at the 49,500 zone,” said Parekh.
Parekh added that immediate support for Nifty today is placed at 23,900 while the resistance is seen at 24,200. The Bank Nifty would have a daily range of 49,500 to 50,600.
