On the outlook for the Nifty 50 today, Nagaraj Shetti, Senior Technical Research Analyst at HDFC Securities said, “The short-term trend of Nifty remains choppy with weak bias. The market could encounter strong resistance around 21,500 to 21,600 levels in the coming sessions. Any weakness from here could find support around 21,100 to 21,000 levels in the near term.”

On the outlook for the Bank Nifty today, Om Mehra, Technical Analyst at SAMCO Securities said, “The week concluded with Bank Nifty marking a 2.59% decline, closing at 44,866.15. The 20-day Simple Moving Average (SMA) acts as a sturdy resistance point at 46,400 while the critical support of the 200-day Moving Average (DMA) lies at 44,600. A breach below these levels might test the 44,000 level.”

On the outlook for the stock market today, Siddhartha Khemka of Motilal Oswal said, “Going ahead market is likely to consolidate further ahead of US Fed interest rate decision on Wednesday where Fed is expected to maintain status quo and give some hint with regards to rate cut timeline. Apart from this BoE monetary policy is also due coupled with a few key economic data releases which might keep markets volatile. Further many heavyweights would be releasing their earnings next week, thus stock specific action would continue despite market consolidation.”
