Commenting on the Nifty 50’s outlook, Parekh noted, that Nifty has been trading within a narrow range over the last 3-4 sessions, hovering around the 24,300-24,400 zone. 

She added that it has yet to close above the critical 24,400 level, which is necessary to build confidence and anticipate further gains toward the next target of 24,700. 

The 24,000 zone, marked by the significant 50-day Exponential Moving Average (50EMA), remains a strong support level, Parekh said.

Regarding Bank Nifty, Parekh said, “Bank Nifty overall is witnessing a sluggish move with gradual rise seen and as mentioned earlier, would need a decisive breach above the 51,000 zone to trigger for fresh upward move in the coming days. The 100-period MA zone at 49,600 level would be the crucial support zone for the index failing which a fresh slide can be anticipated. The support for the day is seen at 24,200 levels while the resistance would be seen at 24,500 levels. Bank Nifty would have the daily range of 50,200-51,000 levels.”
