Nifty Prediction
Commenting on the Nifty prediction today, Jatin Gedia - Technical Research Analyst at Sharekhan by BNP Paribas said, "The Nifty opened on a positive note on Tuesday however it faced resistance at the upper end of the falling channel. It closed in the negative, down ~20 points. On the daily charts, we can observe that the Nifty witnessed a bounce back from the 19600 levels where the 20-day moving average is placed. The bounce is likely to fizzle out as there is an absence of support from the momentum indicator.
Considering that the Nifty has closed in the negative today we need to complete a leg, and the rise on the hourly charts appears overlapping, indicating it is not the start of a new leg of up-move. The daily and hourly momentum indicators provide divergent signals which also suggest an absence of trending moves. Considering all the above parameters we shall continue to maintain that Nifty is likely to remain range bound between 19500 - 20000. Crucial support levels to keep handy are 19630 - 19600 and on the upside, 19800 - 19860 is the immediate hurdle zone."
Bank Nifty Prediction
"Bank Nifty also closed in the red on Tuesday. It managed to retrace only 50% of the previous fall from 46310 - 45238 and again faced selling pressure. Considering that the hourly momentum indicator has reached the equilibrium line we expect that the pullback has matured and is ready for the next leg of the down-move. We expect the Bank Nifty to drift lower to 45000 over the next few trading sessions," said Jatin Gedia.
