In keeping with global patterns, domestic benchmark indices opened lower on Thursday. Nifty began the day with a deficit and was pressured all day long. Consequently, the Nifty ended the day at 24,117, down from its opening position. The Bank Nifty index had a brief comeback after opening flat to negative, ultimately finishing the day flat at 50,113 levels. The policy rates stayed constant, as predicted, and the RBI MPC refused to modify its "withdrawal of accommodation" status, which also caused the markets to respond favourably. Market observers may want to concentrate on sectoral indices, with particular attention paid to banking stocks-the majority of banks had disappointing results in Q1FY25.
Nifty Prediction
"Technically, the index has been taking support near its 50-DEMA, which is currently placed around 23,980. As long as the index holds above this level, a relief rally is likely to continue up to 24,300-24,400 levels. However, sustaining below 23,980 could lead to further weakness in Nifty. On the higher side, immediate resistance for the index is placed near 24,400, where the 21-DEMA hurdle is located," said Hrishikesh Yedve, AVP Technical and Derivatives Research at Asit C. Mehta Investment Interrmediates Ltd.

Bank Nifty Prediction
"Technically, the index has formed a small green candle on the daily scale and managed to defend the low of the homing pigeon pattern, which was formed on Wednesday. For a fresh bullish trigger, the index needs to sustain above the 50,690 hurdle. On the downside, 49,650 will act as a firm support for the index," Hrishikesh Yedve added.
