Day trading guide for stock market today

On the outlook for Nifty50 today, Kunal Shah, Senior Technical & Derivative Analyst at LKP Securities, said, “Selling pressure is evident within the 21700-21750 zone, and 21500 stands out as a crucial support level for Nifty. Any significant directional movement for Nifty hinges on two possibilities: achieving a closing above 21750 to reclaim bullish momentum, or experiencing a close below 21500, which could prompt additional selling pressure and potentially pull the Nifty index toward the 21200 mark.”

On the outlook for Bank Nifty today, Shah further said, “The Bank Nifty index witnessed continued dominance by bears as selling pressure intensified from higher levels. The index is currently facing a strong hurdle at the 48000 mark, where a significant buildup in open interest is observed on the call side. The immediate support for the index is positioned at the 47000-46900 levels. A breach below this support zone is likely to trigger aggressive selling pressure, potentially leading to further downside momentum.”

“Positive sentiments in the Indian IT sector fuelled by a US tech rally and demand on emerging technologies, overshadowed the anticipated muted Q3 results of the sector. Auto and realty continued to remain favourites on account of strong demand. Market optimism about the potential softening of US inflation is driving expectations of near-term rate cuts, bolstering overall sentiment. But in-between profit booking is emerging due to mixed cues from Asian markets as well high valuation concerns,” said Vinod Nair, Head of Research, Geojit Financial Services.
