For the outlook on the Nifty 50 and the Bank Nifty index, Vaishali Parekh said, “Nifty slowly and steadily is marching ahead with new highs made with bias and sentiment getting better anticipating for further rise with next target of 25,600 level expected in the coming days, as mentioned earlier.”

“The frontline stocks like RIL, ITC, TCS, Infy and L&T are looking good which can help the index to gain further and achieve new heights,” said the stock market expert.

“Bank Nifty has been moving with a range having tough resistance near 51,400 levels and just maintaining above the important 50EMA zone of 50,800 levels as the support. The index would need a decisive breach above 51,400 levels to trigger for fresh upward move having 52,500 and 53,400 levels as the next initial targets,” said Parekh.

Parekh said that the Nifty 50 for today has support at 25,000, while the resistance lies at 25,300. The Bank Nifty index would have a daily range of 50,800 to 51,700.
