For the outlook on the Nifty 50 and the Bank Nifty index, Parekh said, “Nifty once again created history scaling new high at 25611 level, thereafter, witnessing heavy profit booking especially among the broader markets to slightly create an atmosphere of cautious approach. The index would have the crucial support of 24200 level while on the upside 25900 level is the initial target.”
“Bank Nifty has been gradually gaining strength and retested the previous peak zone of 53357 level to improve the bias and can anticipate for further rise once a decisive breakout above 53400 level is confirmed.
