On the outlook for Nifty today, Vaishali Parekh said, "The Nifty 50 index has indicated a strong positive move during the week with a higher low formation pattern on the daily chart. With the bias and sentiment maintained positive, it is anticipated to carry on with the positive move for the next targets of 25,900 and 26,300 in the coming days. The zone near 25,200 would be considered the immediate crucial support, which must be sustained."

"The Bank Nifty recovered significantly from the 50,350 zone and has breached above the previous peak zone of 51,750 to improve the bias and anticipate further rise in the coming days, with the next targets of 53,500 and 55,100 levels expected. The zone near the important 50-EMA level of 51,000 would remain the immediate support for the index and need to sustain above it," Parekh added.

Parekh added that Nifty's immediate support today is at 25,200, while the resistance is at 25,500. The Bank Nifty would have a daily range of 51500-52500.
